Refrigerator Ware?

[billysmom]

I have diligently searched and have not found any threads here on the refrigerator ware made by Hall China beginning in the 30's. These were sets of storage dishes that were "gift" items with the purchase of Westinghouse, GE, Hotpoint, etc. refrigerators.

Here's the "Phoenix" set for Westinghouse that dates to 1937 and 1938.

I started collecting these dishes when we purchased a refrigerator with a glass door. My husband asked if I could find something more attractive than old yogurt cartons and actually put me onto this stuff. Predictably, the kitchen's now full of it.

Does anyone else here collect it? Have I missed the threads?

Interesting. I've never seen a set like that before, although I will say I've probably seen the leftover containers used as cannisters somewhere.

Delightful. I will have to keep my eye out for this type of refrigerator ware.

That's neat! I collect GE refrigerator glass containers for my 1940 GE. I have two of so far that bare the GE logo. One may be from the 30s (monitor top era) and the other is 40s I know of.

I'll post photos soon!

GE Refrigerator Ware

Here's the GE set by Hall China. Gray with yellow lids - probably from the early 50's.

And here's the stamp on the bottom.

Different sets were made for different refrigerator manufacturers.
