But the true increase in popularity was largely due to the influence of Martha Stewart,[citation needed] who began showcasing her collection of vintage glass on her television show.
Interest continued to intensify during the release of her own line of jadeite - sold initially through the Martha by Mail catalogs in the late 1990s.

The "Jadeite Fire King" brand was first produced by the United States glassware firm Anchor Hocking in the 1940s.
