The Beginning....

My obsession with Vintage Pyrex began when my MIL gave me a set of Turquoise Butterprint Cinderella Mixing Bowls and a Town and Country Oval Divided Serving Dish. They were both in their original boxes. She received them as wedding presents over 40 years ago and never used them. I thought "Okay, new bowls. Pyrex is great and I can always use those." And then I opened the boxes....

I had no idea that Pyrex came in patterns or colors. The only Pyrex I had ever seen was the clear glass. These were so pretty and my interest was piqued. What else was out there? I did what most of us do these days and hit the internet. I entered "vintage pyrex" into a search engine and was shocked when so much came up. So many beautiful patterns and colors. And they were worth a lot of money. The set of bowls I received were selling for $40-$60 for the set in antique stores. Wow!!

I started looking at garage sales and picking up a piece here or there. And I enjoyed the hunt...find beautiful pieces for anywhere from 50 cents to a couple of dollars. Then I'd run home, hit the internet to find out the name and what the piece was worth. I was hooked...

Now it's two years later, I have an entire cabinet full of Pyrex, 4 more boxes of it in the garage and I just can't stop!! I'm obsessed....I have Pyrex Mania!! :-)
