Recently, I went on a treasure hunt (exploring new flea markets and stores) and I found so much vintage Pyrex I didn't know if I had room to bring it all home! These places were just gold mines for the stuff that day! Sometimes you get lucky like that! Anyway, I bought as much as I could and drove home very carefully, lol. I found pieces in turquoise, pink, lots of green, lots of gold, some blue and yellow and orange! I found a couple of sets of the peek-a-boo bowls with clear bottoms and left a few of those behind too. They scratch really easily and some of them looked pretty raggedy. These pictures include most of my collection, but some were in the fridge. I use my Pyrex, I handwash it to keep the colors bright and clean and I have it on constant display in my small kitchen. Top cabinets made this small space look even more closed off and tiny, so it's all shelves. It really helps to open up the space.
Some of the patterns I have are Amish Butterprint, Daisies, Golden Butterflies, Snowflakes, and lots of primary colors and pastel colors.
Do you have any rare pieces? What patterns and colors do you collect? I'd love to see your collection!
When I'm searching for info on Pyrex, two sources I use are Pyrexlove.com and the Corning Museum of Glass blog. Both are invaluable when looking up patterns and trying to find out if certain pieces were made in particular colors and patterns.
Our Pinterest page has a board for Pyrex lovers too, you can find it here: https://www.pinterest.com/southernestatesales/for-the-love-of-pyrex/
Just in case you're wondering what some of these pieces can sell for, this piece recently sold on ebay...Happy hunting!
