I found a piece of vintage Pyrex at an antiques market a couple of weeks ago. I like the turquoise color, and it cost $1.75. The pattern is called Butterprint, and it was made in the early nineteen sixties.
Imagine my surprise when I saw this article in the May issue of Country Living Magazine:
This issue is all about bargains, and if you don't have it yet, you should really check it out!
I like using Pyrex and Corning Ware refrigerator boxes and casserole dishes because I think it is safer than petroleum-based products like plastics. They can go from oven, to table, to refrigerator, to microwave.
I also found this Hazel Atlas Kitchen Aids pattern small mixing bowl. I bought it for $2.00.
I found a great website all about Pyrex. It is a great resource, and you can visit it here. Do you collect vintage (or new) Pyrex?
Until next time...
Blessings!

I love your question: "Do you collect...?" Heck, I bought it new and I'm still using it. I also inherited quite a bit from my Mom. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo jealous...I love the one with the rooster on it! How cool it was in Country living!
ReplyDeleteoh how I wish I had the common sense to save my mums pyrex.This is lovely,, lucky lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI love pyrex. I wouldn't say I'm exactly a collector. I have several pieces but they are all clear and only a few are old. I have a covered casserole that was my mother-in-law's. I use it all the time. I saw the article in Country Living. If I had an empty cupboard somewhere I'd get some more...but I'm about at my limit! Thanks for a great post...~Ann
ReplyDeleteGreat pyrex finds, lady!
ReplyDeleteI collect depression glass, and vintage kitchen wares too. I have that exact same set, but in brown. Yours is soo much more lively!!
ReplyDeleteI also have pretty pink pyrex, from the "Cinderella" pattern!
Fun indeed!!

I have Pyrex, but nothing vintage. (I am not a huge fan of plastic either.) I remember my mom having the same rooster one that you have. Haven't seen it in ages, wonder if it broke? Anyway, they're both great finds & they look to be in excellent condition.
ReplyDeleteHello Ricki. Luck you for the fab finds. I love the turquoise design of the pyrex. Although here pyrex are a bit expensive. What we usually have here are the transparent tray like pyrex. We use it for baked macaroni and other oven dishes. I collect too. In fact a lot of things. I find simple happiness and excitement when new things come to my collections.
ReplyDeleteIs it not wonderful to find something of our past that is so cool to own now? first we own it, then we get rid of it, then we collect it..
ReplyDeleteand now we also LOVE IT!..good buy..
Oh boy does this bring back a wave of memories! That turquoise is so precious!
ReplyDeleteI love the old pyrex, too. I don't collect it, but I do love the butterprint design. You found some cute pieces!!!

Pyrex totally reminds me of when I was a child. My mom had tons of Pyrex.I love the pieces that you have. I see Pyrex all the time in my favorite thrift stores. I better buy a few pieces before the prices blow up.
ReplyDeleteYou know I need those in my kitchen dear. I agree. I like to use glass and pyrex when I can.
ReplyDeleteLove your Pyrex finds, what treasures they are, the colours are still so fresh and vibrant.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a trendsetter!
(BTW the book is wrapped and ready to go in the mail tomorrow)
You really did great ! My mother still has some Pyrex pieces from her wedding in 1952!! I remember them growing up. I have also seen articles in magazines they they are collectible now.
