however, there are three pieces from the "pyrex england" collection that have made their way into my home. finding information on them has proved to be quite difficult so if i am classifying them incorrectly, feel free to correct me!
this was my first piece from the collection. it's the cherry blossom pattern. i'm not sure if i would purchase it if i saw it on the shelf now but back then i bought anything and everything that said "pyrex". :)
my second piece! i LOVE the colours on this piece. it's called country autumn and i even found the matching lid in one of the bins that our thrift store has for leftover casserole lids.
i found this third piece awhile back and wrote about it here. this pattern is so unique and looks a little old town-ish but i just love it. i'm not totally sure of its name but i've seen others refer to it as "vine". after googling it, i've realized that it may actually come with a dark lid which is totally crazy because whenever i see those in the lid bin, i just move right passed them. i didn't even know that they were pyrex. tomorrow i'll be making a stop at the lid bin!
a post from me wouldn't be complete without a snippet of butterfly gold. i love how well the country autumn piece goes with these bowls.

I do see Pyrex England quite often, but I find many pieces quite unattractive. I live in Toronto, Ontario.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Ontario, I see it all the time too but it's not something I buy, I have a couple of pieces and that's enough for me!!
ReplyDeletethe cherry blossom is fantastic! those patterns are even more vibrant than the ones i see around! i think pyrex england might be something that would work for you on ebay. it's always worth a try!
ReplyDeletegreat finds!

Also living in Manitoba I see boat loads of the stuff, just not vibrant enough for me I guess
ReplyDeleteI've heard it said that there is lots here because of all the English war brides - they came over after the war and by the 50's and 60's brought family over and were affluent enough to bring their housewares with them - not sure I hold anything to this theory! But I do know lots of folks that are from England....
That's an interesting theory! I'm happy with the three pieces I have but I agree with the rest of you that most just aren't vibrant enough.
ReplyDeleteI have an Autumn Country bowl with lid we inherited from my Mother in law. It has a smoky brown lid. Just though you might want to know :).
