We’ve been neglecting to post about our Pyrex finds lately - the reason being we haven’t made it out to the flea markets lately. However, we have come across a few items at the thrifts. Here’s today’s haul - with the nicest piece being a New Horizon Promotional casserole that came with along with the wooden handled cradle. We have seen this several times at the flea markets and passed, but we finally caved in because this one came with the cradle. We’re pretty sure there’s bound to be some confusion with the similarly named Horizon Blue pattern which isn’t a promotional (the first time we saw Horizon Blue we DID think it was a promotional) but a standard issue from the 70s.

We also found a nice 401 Primary color blue bowl - these are quite common, but sometimes difficult to find w/ out all the scratches. Another interesting find at the thrift was a lidless 501 clear refrigerator dish. We’ve seen this a number of times at the thrift - it is very interesting that a lot of sellers (and some of the books) say these were only produced early on. We’ve seen some with the newer looking stamps on bottom that definitely do not look like they were produced that long ago - so beware about this on Ebay. I’m not saying that they aren’t that old, just know that it seems like these clear refrigerator dishes were also reproduced by Pyrex much later on. Ours has the older stamp, however.

Finally, we picked up these two nice restaurantware bowls with the Emerald Band (or Green Band) pattern. We think these are #708 sizes, but the bottom of the bowls have the Corning glassblower’s logo instead of the standard Pyrex Tableware stamps.
