Snowflake Pyrex on Mad Men
So just a quickie post - we’ve been huge fans of AMC’s Mad Men series. Since the show is based in the 1960s and they pay really close attention to accurate set decor, every so often, we spot some vintage Pyrex being used in the show.
We’ve seen the Green Wheat Pyrex promo before in the show, but this time around it was a Turquoise Snowflake Oval Casserole that was the star for quite a long scene. It appeared in the premiere episode of season four - Peggy’s boyfriend was carrying it while she was talking to Don. The shot above is actually a screen-cap from some of the behind the scenes footage from the website. They have nicer photos from that episode, but none of the scene with the casserole.
Thanks to all the fans who also wrote in telling us about it. It appears that everyone’s “Pyrex radar” is working just fine!

Also you have to listen to Jay-Z’s song forever young, he has a line that says something like, my name will be forever remembered and passed down from generations like Pyrex pots~Awesome!!

On last weeks episode Betty Draper’s friend brought over a bowl and it was a Pyrex 404 red fade to orange. Those are sooooo hard to find!

I saw some orange pyrex bowls in a scene from “the karate kid” (the OLD one!) sitting on a kitchen counter (when mr Myagi comes to fix the kitchen sink). I also saw some in “what women want” when Mel Gibson goes to the apartment of the “sad girl”. You can see some of the red mixing bowls on a shelf behind him.
