Agee love

Hello there! My name is Carol and I'm so glad to be part of the collective! Thanks Erin for letting me join the fun.
I've been collecting for a year now and here it is - my pyrex collection to date.
My main obsession is Australian pyrex, otherwise known as agee pyrex, and I'd love to share some of my favourite pieces with you.

This is a set of 6 festive ware square ramekins. They are quite small, and perfect for eating ice cream!

Earlier pieces of agee pyrex were made of clear glass, with a fired-on layer of colour on the outside. I've found a few pieces so far, here are some examples.




Mostly I like to use my pyrex everyday. As many have said before me, everything tastes better in pyrex!

  1. It's always fun to see international Pyrex, and I envy those who actually USE it. I just can't bring myself to do it (but I'm getting closer). Lovely collection!

  9. That's some gorgeous Pyrex! I've never seen anything like those here. A few months ago I did find a small bowl, and on the bottom it's marked Pyrex England. Of course, I scooped it up! I'll have to post it here soon.

  10. Hello everyone, thank you so much for the lovely comments!

    Vintage Christine, I have to admit that I don't use the older, clear glass with colour pieces - just can't bring myself to do it for fear of damage and breakage!

    Alyssa Bee - I live in Australia, so agee is quite common here. I feel lucky cos we seem to have a good mix of U.S, English and Australian made pyrex at the op-shops here!

    Thrifted Treasure - it's so great to know there are other Aussie pyrexics out there. Oh, and I have to say I love your blog!

    Sharon Lou - I have some English pyrex too! Let's both post :o)
