Jadite was manufactured in the United States by many companies from the 1930s to  the early 1970s.  Each company produced a slight variant either lighter or darker of jadite's basic seafoam-green color.  Jadite was heavy, durable, inexpensive and, sometimes even free!  It was often packaged as a giveaway in food and cleaning products. Many restaurants and diners served meals on jadite dishes, as they cost pennies to buy and were sturdy enough to hold up to commercial use. 

By far the largest and most well-known producer of jadite was the Anchor Hocking Glass Co.   Hocking Glass was founded in 1905, near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and produced, among other things, pressed-glass dinnerware.  After Hocking merged with Anchor Glass in 1937 and formed the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation, they began to manufacture glass ovenware that could endure high temperatures. Their wildly successful line of ovenproof glass, called Fire-King, debuted in 1942 and was made for 30 years. Offered in a variety of colors, Fire-King named their opaque green color Jade-ite and it would become the line's most popular color.
