Pyrex collector, high end rare cast iron cookware collector, ceramic Christmas tree collector, other antiques. It's a great hobby and something that keeps me sane.
Absolutely! We love the ceramic Christmas trees too
I’m still using my mother’s vintage Pyrex bowls. They’re almost indestructible. I love them.
They are the best
I love my Pyrex. I still cook in it all the time.
Same here!
Gosh my mum loved her pyrex!!!❤
They are very useful and durable
I think you did a great job rounding up not only the history but a good timeline of both primary and promotional patterns. I have been collecting for about 2-3 years and of late, much more actively. Thank you!
Thank You! Hope you have great luck hunting for more
I love vintage Pyrex, but also the newer stuff. I like them on a practical level. I don't like the throwaway culture of today. I'd rather use the old stuff that lasts forever.
Same here!🙂🙂
I love pyrex so much! I grew up with having so much of it in our home. My grandmother had an entire dish set that I still have a small set of fruit bowls, those tiny little bowls that you can use for dessert or something. They're just plain white with a wide green band around the edge, and a matching serving bowl. I used to have more of her pieces but I ended up getting rid of them - so sorry now that I did. Then my mom had a few of the pyrex refrigerator dishes that we stored our leftovers in daily, wish she had kept those. But they had so many beautiful patterns! I really love the butterprint/Amish one so much!. This was great, the history was so interesting - thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed the video Kimberly! I also grew up with it and this brought back great memories
And learning again how diverse,long lasting and practical Pyrex is..wonderful
Very interesting video.
Thanks Theo!!!
Thxs!! I love collecting vintage cookware, like Pyrex, Corning Ware & Fire King!!! Thxs for the info!!!
Thanks for watching Lulu!
I'm a collectibles dealer. Thank for all of the very informative videos that you put out!! I've learned something from every video so far, and I have been dealing for about 30 years! Thank you so much!
Not a provelm Marian! Thank you so much for watching 🙂
I have my grandmother's primary bowl set..... makes me very happy.
A beautiful set for sure
The heck?!? I had no idea. Fascinating. So good, I am listening to it twice.
That's Great! Glad you enjoyed in Sharnell!
Going to the Corning outlet store was a day after Thanksgiving tradition for my Grandma and my mom and I. We had SO much fun and our cupboards were full of it!
That is awesome! Love these stories
I collect the original Crazy Daisies line (true name Spring Blossom Green). I have a ton and will keep buying when I see them at garage & estate sales, and at antique road shows!
Pyrex Collections Display The Best In My Opinion
I AM A FABULOUS FIFTY'S GIRL, SO I LOVE SEEING ALL OF THESE THINGS AGAIN. YOU ARE FABULOUS WITH YOUR PRESENTIONS I LEARN SOMETHING EVERY TIME. THANK YOU 😊🤗🤑🙃🤔
Awesome! Thanks for watching Nancy!
When I am antiquing one of the most common items I see in other shopper's carts is Pyrex. From mixing bowls to refrigerator jars; It is amazing how hot the market has become for something as widely available and commonplace as Pyrex. I've heard from antique dealers and shop owners that they love Pyrex since if it is priced reasonably it always seems to sell very quickly.
That is correct! Love getting pyrex cause the market is good and the prices are reasonable
Sweet history! Thank you.
Thanks for watching Norma!
Wow. Need to look at what I have and start watching for others. Thanks
That is a good idea
Thank you. wonderful presentation.
Thanks for watching Virginia
Very informative, thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Your videos have helped me so much.
That's great to hear! If you ever have any further questions don't hesitate to ask
Thank you for another interesting video
Thanks for watching EJ
My mother got her primary mixing bowls as a wedding gift in 1945 which l just found out was the year it started. I still have and use them regularly. I have two of all but the medium small from thrifting. Sturdy, useable, oven proof and microwaveable.
That’s very cool! Glad you still use them
Interesting and informative. Thanks.
Thanks!
I love to use my pyrex mixing bowls for mixing, serving, storing. They are cheerful and clean easy. I am done putting stuff on a shelf. If I like it and want it I only buy if I can find a real use for it. Love your interesting programs, I learn a lot.
That's great to hear Deborah! It is such a great product glad you get the most use out of it
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I love any help you can give me.
@Leroy Lewis Instablaster ;)
@Brooks Maddox Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brooks Maddox it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
Ahhh, the 4 colorful nesting bowls. Memories. My Mom had those. We 5 kids are why no one has them now. The green one lasted the longest. I bear the ignominy of having broken the yellow one. 😯😢😭
🤣🤣 that will happen
Really enjoyed your information on Pyrex!.... Sincerely appreciated it... Russ
Thanks Russ!
Just found your channel last night and it’s great! Very informative videos and just what I need as a 1 year reseller and opening my first booth this weekend.
That is awesome! Good luck going forward Wikki and if you need any advice feel free to contact us
Amazing video! Thank you so much. I have many of these pieces left or passed down to me. Ive always been scared to use them..lol But I do keep them safe! Thank you so much for posting this. Blessings, Fran
Glad you enjoyed the video Fran!
Excellent video !
Thanks Chris!
Collected pyrex for years. Maybe several hundred pieces. Didn't know the names of the patterns or values but I'm learning. It's time to start downsizing. Sold a set of bowls 2 weeks ago. Your video is very helpful . Thank you. Michael in Council Bluffs, Iowa
Thats great to hear! Thanks for watching Michael!
Awesome video definitely subscribe 👍👍
Thanks Jimmy!
Great info!
Thanks Bart!
Fantastic beard! And information
Thanks Ryan!
Just found your channel. I collect Pyrex in the solid turquoise which is really more of a true aqua color. I have the mixing bowl set which was the first Pyrex purchase about 30 years ago. I have refrigerator boxes, circular covered casserole and more. I also collect Kromex in the same color.
That’s awesome Ginger! Pyrex is such a great thing to
Collect
I so love Pyrex and I am very interested in it and it’s history. I have a few bits. My favourite are the little saucepan set I have. Came all the way from American 🇺🇸 and arrived just before Christmas.
I enjoy using and it was worth every penny 🥰
That is great to hear! They offer such a great product, glad you enjoy them 🙂
I have the spring blossom mixing bowl set. I know it’s
Not one of the more sought after sets, but I use it just as much as I love it.
Memories over money! As long as you enjoy it that is all that matters 🙂
I just started collecting Pyrex. I started with the Homestead nesting bowels because I remember my Mom having the large one. I go to the antique stores and only buy the ones that are inexpensive at this point. It’s more fun piecing them together, and seems to be cheaper than buying a whole set all at once. At this point I am sticking with the nesting bowels only, unless I see something I have seen is rare. Thank you for the info.
That's Awesome! Have fun collecting pyrex! It is a blast hunting for the next piece
Cool, I have 2 Gooseberry bowls from my Grandma sitting in my cabinet - had no idea they had any value. I use them all the time!
Yes they do! But of course enjoy them first cause they are a quality product
Interesting for sure...my cupboards runneth over...maybe have to box them up for the grandkids lol😉
Not a bad idea! They will hold their value for sure
I just started collecting last month and purchase from 66 all the time. Just bought a great Horizon Blue set last week.
That’s awesome Christina! Thanks for the support
150 that would be a crazy collection
I agree
BTW really like your videos!! Great job and very informative!
Thanks Dee! Glad you enjoyed the video
I collect Pyrex because of the beautiful colors and patterns.
There is so many out there! Happy Collecting
I would have never thought pyrex would be such a collectable item
Oh yeah there is quite a big market for it
I love my Pyrex use it daily ☺️ crazy daisy is my favorite
Awesome!
Glad I found you! You do a great job!!
Thanks Debbie! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks Debbie! Glad you enjoyed the video
I have a few pyrex pieces I thrifted long before it became "hot." I like the olive-colored 70s stuff. I have a small baking dish that didn't have a lid--then I thrifted the lid for only a couple $$ a few mos ago. Yeah! I also have a little bit of flameware.
That's awesome! The hunt is always the funnest part
Great video! You showed some beautiful Pyrex patterns. I have a few pieces of Pyrex that I was gifted or found at bargain prices (which is very rare to find). I collect and have several pieces of Fire King. Could you do a 101 video on Fire King? I look forward to seeing next weeks video featuring Roseville, which has always been my favorite pottery. Since your shop is within 2 hours from us, it is on my list of road trips I have planned this summer. Thanks for sharing.
That is great to hear Judy! Can't wait to meet you and I'll add fire king to the list of items to do a 101 video on
I have the turquoise and the Black pyrex the Turquoise being my favorite
That’s awesome! The turquoise is beautiful
I have 1 very old red Pyrex mixing bowl, maybe 6 cups, no pattern. Use it everyday and has never seen a dishwasher. Looks almost new. I have no other pieces although my mother had many many pieces. But she never had the red bowl that I remember. I've had it so long I cannot even remember where I got it. Love it dearly, favorite item in my cupboard.
Awesome!
Love pyrex.Have many patterns. Wish you weren't so far away it's time to sell all collections I have.
Yea no doubt I'm really considering starting a mini collection and see where it goes. 🙂
An excellent narrative.Used Pyrex in New Zealand and here in the Uk.So brilliant.
Thanks Helen!
I have heard you can't recycle pyrex with glass in America.Do you know if this is true?I don't know about the Uk.
No can't be recycled with glass.It contaminates.Its the heat protector in pyrex.
I have not heard that so can't comment either way on it 🤔
HeIIz yeah, great information...🤘🏼💯✔️ I'm gonna keep an eye out for the "Black❄️Snowflake", because I really dig that...👌🏼 Also, yeah, I collect Pyrex stuff, just the pieces I like and whatnot, such as a children's piece, it's a bowl with clown🤡faces on it...🤗...I totally love❤️and dig it, and keep it on my coffee table sometimes with stuff in it...👍🏼 The color was important too, I searched for one with the Red clown decals because red is my favorite color, and of course I wanted it to be in good condition...💁🏻 So there's that, and also I got a small clear Pyrex dish in the corner of my bed cubby because it was see-through and I have it as a catch-all for miscellaneous items such as chapstick, headphones, fingernail clippers, and other odds and ends...🤙🏼 All around, I think Pyrex is pretty frickin' neat, and I do dig a lot of the different designs...💫
my last name is Duran and I’m obsessed with Pyrex so this video made me very happy
That’s awesome Savannah glad you liked it
I would love the pink set, I love pyrex, one of our vintage white ones is kinda ruined, our roomate used it constantly for baking, oh well.
The pink set is beautiful
Came for the vintage Pyrex, stayed for the Ted DiBiase you could order from WWF magazine!!! Gosh, seven year old me is screaming jealous!
I’m a huge wresting fan so I have plenty of vintage wrestling items 🙂🙂
I just found a 4 piece set of the 1968 Daisy bowls yesterday 😍
Nice! Good find Cassandra
You almost made a Pyrex collector until I seen the prices. I’d rather put money in pottery. The history was great.
Those are the highest end of prices. You can start buying them for $5 and up just the rarer pieces can get pricey
Whoknew? I would love to see you do a segment on Copenhagen and Bing & Grondahl plates. Also Shawnee pottery...
I'll add it to the list thanks!
i love fiesta
They are nice
Awesome! I really like this 101 You Tube classes. I’m new to seriously collecting antiques vintage/bohemian style.
My two cents. Also fading. If you put the color ones in the dishwasher they will fade. I have a clear bowl with teal polka dots. I think this one Is newer? The dishwasher does not effect it at all. I’m collecting the clear ones, so no problem with fading or discoloration.
I’m kind of not really collecting them but if I see them at the thrift store for like a buck, I’ll pick them up. 🤗 I do like them. Didn’t Pyrex and Corningware merge?
Thanks again,
Christine in Massachusetts
I'm glad your enjoying the videos! Corning made pyrex and Corelle who owns both merged with another company
I love Pyrex a have a little 😄
It really is a great product!
Thanks! Would you please do a video on crackle glass. I have a huge collection and a very old reference book, that’s not much help any more. I know the value has gone way down, but it looks beautiful in the windows when the sun is shining 🥰
I'll add it to the list, thanks for the suggestion
Vintage Pyrex painted patterns contain lead in the paint.
But the paint is on the outside and doesn’t contact the food.
Pyrex collector here!! I collect Butterfly Gold and Flamingo Pink. In Butterfly Gold, I have the complete set, nearly ever compatible piece made as well. I'm still missing the placemats and silverware, but i dont think i will ever get the silverware, and there may be items i dont even know about. I only recently learned they made Butterfly gold placemats! My favorite piece is my Big Bertha, and yes, I do use it!
That’s awesome! Sounds like quite a collection
I collect Fenton, Depression Glass, Capodimonte, but if I stumble upon vintage Pyrex in my travels I just might pick some up. Thanks
Awesome! All great things to collect
Somehow I seem to be collecting the items you have a video on, yesterday I wrote a comment on cast iron cookware, and was amazed at how fast you replied! Your a welth of knowledge and I appreciate it. I'm somewhat of a "shotgun" kind of antiquer, and here i am again learning about the pyrex iv accumulated over the last couple years. I do mostly yard and estate sales, lots of auctions, and second hand stores. Thanks again for the info, I'll keep looking and checking your videos for information, good luck in your own hunting endeavors! Just curious, you mention 66 antiques, is that in reference to hwy. 66?
Yes it is reference to m66 which is where our antique store is located. Thanks for watching the videos and again good luck hunting for treasures
I collect pink daisy is have my mothers and I add when it can.
Awesome! A beautiful pattern to collect
👍👍
👍
Great audio!
Thanks Sue
START LOOKING FOR THE BLACK PYREX BOWLS.
I have a great collection for a good price
Awesome
Thank you for the tip..
I never could figure out how to check sold listing on eBay.
No problem, thanks for watching
We were picking up pyrex, before it got popular, and I use it to this day and of course never use harsh chemicals or put it through the dishwasher, that just makes me sad to see the dishwasher dishes, at the thrift stores, and they still ask a lot of ruined pyrex dishes 😥
That is sad to see. It is a great product that's for sure
Love videos. I own a foreclosure cleanout business and so appreciate you sharing your knowledge. But maybe you could leave examples up longer so we could see. Thanks. Best wishes and never stop moving forward.
Thanks for the suggestion Jamie! I’ll work on that in future videos
Jamie you can pause the video and rewind and fast forward.
I have a few pieces of Pyrex, Corningware, Fire King, and Glassbake. No sets. All pieces my Mom and Auntie owned, and some found cheap at garage sales. They broke a few and sadly so did I. I love to cook with them for they are superior bakers! I don't put them in the dishwasher, and seldom in the mic. I figure they were not made for that use. Sadly my pink gooseberries have been through the dishwasher and faded. Using them gives me joy and I feel the love of my dear ones.
Love hearing the stories about these items we collect! Thanks for watching
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
😃
I have a daisy one!
Nice! That’s a great pattern
I collect pink Pyrex and turquoise when I can find it. But I also resell any cool pieces that I come across
It is a great product to resell and collect! Great choice
Great video! Very interesting. I know it’s not related, but could you do a video on carnival glass? Is it still of interest to collectors?
Absolutely! That will most likely be the next video we do after Roseville pottery next week
I have my Mom’s original mixing bowl set but I broke the small blue one. I just replaced it a few months ago so the set is complete now.
Awesome! Always better to have the complete set
I have two divided dishes that I think I'll put on the garage sale next month. Don't remember where I got the compass star (or atomic, I've also seen it called), and the barbed wire, that a neighbor down the alley set out for free! I'll see if the locals will snap them up for $10 bucks apiece!
Nice!! Good luck selling I don't see you have a problem
About 20 years ago I had a friend who had a flea market booth. He was selling me pyrex for 1 or 2 dollars each, 3 dollars if it had a lid...
Ah man that is a steal if I’ve ever heard of one. Lucky you
My grandma had a huge pyrex measuring cup its 4 cups! Its a beast. My mom has pyrex measuring cup is only 3 cups. I also found a beautiful no design light blue pyrex bowl, had to throw the lid away it had a big chip in it
Nice!!’ All good pieces
Hi!, from st clair county michigan. Love your channel! I've had a pyrex promotional piece in very very good condition for years. The only problem i have is the inability to find all pieces involved in this set together. Some are missing lid, some the rack. Can i send you a pic? If so how would you like that sent. Just need your expert opinion. Ty!
Thanks for watching Patricia and feel free to message us on Facebook or google
Pyrex is my main squeeze. I have been collecting it for like 10 years. It's getting harder and harder to find, and the prices keep going up. I collect anything pyrex
Yes it is, we have been having luck at auctions but past that it is definitely hard to come by. Happy Hunting 🙂
I've sold lots of Pyrex. It goes in waves people snap it up or just look. As with any collectible.
Absolutely!
I own the 1957 pattern you said with the farmers. That's exciting to know it's what 65 years old then?
Yea that’s awesome
I have a Pyrex handle that I think was used to move Pyrex baking dishes into and out of the oven as it latches on/off based on the angle you hold it. I don't have a photo of it now (and right now, I don't have quick access to it to take/post/send a photo of it) but it looks like it was designed to grab one of the "tab arms" on a baking bowl/dish and then release quickly once the hot bowl was transferred from the oven to the trivet on the table eliminating the need for using a hot pad/mitt. I've tried to use it on some of the anchor glass baking ware and it doesn't work. I think all the Pyrex brand baking dishes I received as wedding gifts 45 years ago are no longer with me--either finally broke or left behind at a church pot luck type event. Let me know if you're interested in seeing what it looks like...
PS. One of my sons has a beard like yours... I couldn't stop thinking about him as I watched this video...very informative!...
Absolutely! I'd love.to.see it
@@66uniqueantiques I should have access to the handle to take a photo by early-mid May, then I'll post it here, unless you want it somewhere else...
Value is what people are willing to pay for the product; People should collect what they use not what they think is valuable
Memories Over Money 🙂
Can you do one on CorningWare please?!!
I will add it to the list
Great job as usual🙂! Is Pyrex safe to use? There’s conflicting information on the internet. Thanks!
Yes it's safe! I use pyrex all the time
@@66uniqueantiques Thank you 🙂
I have a large round friendship casserole dish with the lead. The color is excellent with no chips. I couldn’t find it on EBay. How much do you think it’s worth? Thanks
Feel free to email me some pics and I'll see what I can do
Just bought a bunch of Pyrex hoping to resell them
Awesome! Good luck reselling they are hot right now
Any advice I can hear please .
Really surprised he didn’t close with explaining how Pyrex made since the 1980s in the US bears zero resemblance to original Pyrex. Europe still makes it using the original borosilicate glass formulation, but all post-80s Pyrex here is made of inferior soda-lime glass. The soda-lime formulation explodes under normal oven temperatures and otherwise breaks very easily.
A good but if additional info thanks
Agreed. American pyrex is a cheap knock-off of the real thing. There's pics and videos everywhere of them exploding and shattering. If you're going to collect these, make sure the logo says "PYREX" all capital letters. If it's lower case letters, it's the fake stuff.
@@xjohnny1000 Not quite. Original PYREX, the ‘good stuff,’ was 100% American born and bred. It was the European market that demanded the brand to be cheaper, hence, inferior, to satisfy European market across the pond.
@@FR-tb7xh That's opposite of your original comment though. I understand the Pyrex of old is American but through corporate buyouts and shuffling, all the borosilicate was sent offshore. Thankfully other brands like OXO still make some good pieces.
I have friends who have a hot air balloon, so I'm always looking for a good deal on a pyrex hot air balloon bowl.
Found your channel when looking for value of Pyrex bowl that my mother had for years. Thinking about selling it I'm not sure
Pyrex is hot in the market right now
Yeah I heard so I'm probably going to sell it. Thanks for the reply!
Absolutely
I got Autumn Harvest at an estate sale for a dollar
Nice Find!
