Well, since I live in Eastern Canada, I should really say “My first Pyrex
Snowflakes”!!
(We have lots of snow around
here.)
I found the first one (without lid) at Value Village for $5
It's an Oval Casserole #043 - 1½ Qt made in the mid 60s. Now I'm on the lookout for a lid. Love the details on the snowflakes (wish the picture was better quality).
The second one was found at a
garage sale. December garage sales are
pretty rare around here (way too cold), so we were thrilled to find two in town
on December 1st. At the second sale, I picked up this Charcoal Pyrex.
As far as I know, it’s an
Oblong Space Saver Casserole #548 - 1¼ Qt with its lid (#550C), and was made
between 1957 and 1960 (does this sound right to you?). I understand that there are also metal
lids that came with these (#550MC). It was $3, was obviously used by its previous owner and has some scratches, but I don’t mind too much.
So here they are, together.
Since they were out for the
photo shoot, a little winter friend of mine wanted to hang around with them.
And decided to jump right in.
How about you - are
you going to have a White Christmas?
Happy Holidays to all Pyrex
lovers!!!

What great finds! We will have a white Christmas for sure, both on the ground, and with snowflake pyrex as serving dishes :)
ReplyDeleteLucky! Hopefully NY gets some snow for Christmas, it would deff be nice!
DeleteI love love love the snowflake ones! Those are my favorite. I adore the charcoal also, I have the Charcoal in the divided dish but would love a space saver! Nice finds!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I was so thrilled to find them in time for Christmas.
DeleteI'd symyounwetevprettynlucky to find a charcoal piece at a yard sale, really lucky!!
ReplyDeleteI agree - lucky me!
DeleteCute photoshoot!! Thinking it'll snow tomorrow in Syracuse, NY. I'm ok with sime snow, but Central NY gets hammered with snow usually... but hey, at least we will all make it through "the end of the world"! Pyrex on :)
ReplyDeleteThank you - it was fun to do. I want to try to find better lighting for the next ones.
DeleteForgot to ask - Do you have any suggestions on addressing the scratches? Because it's a charcoal, I don't dare try the usual Magic eraser or BKF on it (because of the different finish).
