Hi fellow Pyrexics!
Of course, a Valentine’s day post has to
feature pink or red, and since I have yet to find my first pink Pyrex
piece (sniff!), red it is.
A recent trip to Value Village
It seems to have led a bit of a rough life with a little “chunk” gone from its base, but since I believe it’s from one of the original primary sets from the 1940s, I think it looks pretty good for its age.

Oh well, I must now display some patience and I'm sure the yellow and green will come to me.
Happy Valentine’s Day to all Pyrex lovers!
