This
is a group that was produced for use by cafeterias, nursing homes and other
congregate seating situations. The first one, Vienna Lace is not
really institutional but is included here because of its bottom stamping,
being more similar to the other two than other Fire-King mugs. Actually
these might be more of a cup than a mug but I’ve seen them called both.
The
institutional mugs were different in their identification, so that each
piece could be ordered for its color and pattern. (Not Vienna Lace though).

(1) Vienna Lace is a dinnerware
mug with a silver plated rim. Marked Placesetters Collection on the
bottom. It dates to the early to mid 1970s. Never microwave
a metallic plated mug as the sparks will damage the plating. (2)
An example I haven’t been able to find reference material for. It
is marked Anchor Hocking 910 Fire-King 350 Made In U.S.A. So, its
from the 900 line and that’s all I can share at this time. (3) A
KI-907 Conical Cup in green vine border, marked similarly to #2.
The last two are sturdy mugs
and with an atypical shape, you’ll have to keep your eyes out for them
in visits to the local markets.
