Hocking had great success with this basic circular design of rows of bubbles. The simple design made it easy to blend with other kitchen patterns. Bubble colors were well thought out by the Hocking designers. Both Royal Ruby and Forest Green came in many patterns and shapes. Bubble is easily mixed with any of them. These colors were often used for Christmas season because the colors lent themselves so well to this beautiful time of year. Forest Green and Ruby did scratch easily, so using it a few times a year instead of year round makes good sense to many of today's collectors. These earlier Bubble colors do not take extreme temperature changes well. I can remember taking Royal Ruby plates out of my hot dishwasher and serving ice cream on them. Needless to say several plates cracked. Ruby and crystal Bubble are the only two colors that have flat Bubble patterned tumblers to go with the sets. Sapphire Blue Bubble matches Hocking's Sapphire Blue Fire-king Philbe kitchen items. Not only was the design simple and easy to use, the glassware was virtually indestructible. Both the crystal and Sapphire Blue line was produced and sold as heat resistant glassware. This made these two Bubble colors perfect for using not only in the home, but in restaurants, church and party houses as well. Dinner plates in both Ruby and Forest Green are difficult to find, but they are abundant in crystal and Sapphire Blue. Hard to find Sapphire Blue items include, grill plates, small 4" berry bowls, creamers, and flanged bowls. A simple service of Blue Bubble can be collected inexpensively, however if you need the hard to find items mentioned above you will have to pay a premium to get them.
