The Wonderful World of Jadite

Jadite is green milk glass basically.  It's depression era but it's the milky, non-transparent green glass.  It was made by multiple companies but Jeanette did a lot starting in 1936.

Then McKee did some reamers in it and some other kitchen ware such as rolling pins, shakers, mixing bowls etc. Hazel Atlas got in on the act with some jadite bakeware.  This is just a small sampling of what's available in the market place. 

JUST BE CAREFUL!!! Martha Stewart made a line of jade kitchenware and consequently it's being reproduced in mass. Trust me K-Mart wasn't around during the depression era (not during THE GREAT DEPRESSION.. LOL) so what you see barcoded in the flea-market did not come from McKee or Jeanette. Get a book and find out what was reproduced.
