While going through my grandma's pictures, I came across this gem. Forget the bear - over to the side I had gotten a Corning tea set when I was prolly no more than 4/5. I honestly don't even remember getting this that year but love seeing this (forgotten, lol) memory from my childhood!
Please excuse the fact that my two-year old self is hitting my dad with a fly swatter.....
But there's a Butterprint 444 on the counter. Growing up, I NEVER remember my grandmother having (or using) the Pyrex that I ended up with from her. This is actually one of those pieces. When we were getting her house ready to put up for an estate sale, she told me to take whatever I wanted and all I wanted was her Pyrex. Talked to my mom, she talked to her brother (who didn't even know what Pyrex was, so he was ok with me having it) and when we went home about two years ago, I got all of her Pyrex. She didn't have a complete set of anything, so after I got back home and got it all organized, I started piecing the sets together thanks to eBay and Marketplace. Two years later, I'm finding pictures of it in use from my childhood and it makes me happy to see that it wasn't just saved for special occasions.
Has anyone else stumbled on pictures of family Pyrex in use?
I'm working on planning on what I'm cooking for Thanksgiving and I'm trying to plan based on what dishes I'm using. Torn between trying to use all one pattern or all one "type" dish... All 943, all 945 but in different patterns, etc.
What would you guys recommend?
It's still kinda swollen... But I got my second Pyrex tattoo today!! Love love love how it turned out!
Being a self proclaimed accessory whore, after displaying my Berthas, I felt like they needed something extra. So I found the Gemco salt & pepper shakers for each one and I think that was the perfect little addition to my display! Even if the eBay sellers still included free salt and pepper with the shakers (yes still inside and yes it got all over the place when I unpacked).....
Decided to switch up my display of round casseroles for the ovals... Butterfly Gold, Friendship, Daisy and Snowflakes. With my Berthas all proudly displayed on top. (Spring Blossom is my fave so they stay there year round)
My boyfriend was antiquing today on his lunch break and he came across some amazing finds!! A Butterfly Gold oil and vinegar set and Butterprint 502 in amazing condition (aside from not having a lid).
I came across some old pictures of my grandparents when they were cleaning out her house and I saw this.... Pyrex in a box! I just wish I knew what it was!! Oval casserole? Round? What pattern?!
I love these Terra pieces but I love them even more when mixed with (what I call) butterscotch solids! They compliment each other SO well! I generally dislike the Old Orchard patterned pieces but these solid ones came in clutch for my display!
Show me your favorite Frankenstacks!
I just got my tattoo finished of my favorite pattern!
So I found not one, but two of these bowls over the last week on Marketplace. I've never seen such a tiny dish and both are marked "pyrex" (lower case p) in the lid and Corning in the bottom of the dish. I don't even care what they "actually" bc they are SO adorable but I had to share!!
