Mixin' Up Some Delphite...

I have been collecting a Delphite mixing bowl set, one piece at a time.  It has been quite an adventure, buying each piece on eBay.  The last bowl that I needed was the little 1 1/2 pint bowl.  I finally found one that wasn't an insane price...which led to a big adventure.  If you follow my blog, you've heard about it.  I'm going to leave that be though, as the set looks so amazing!  Take a look:




Then there was some heartache.  Look at this poor set of Primary bowls that arrived yesterday.  Poor little things.  The kids, little red and little blue are orphans now that mama green and papa yellow have passed on in this horrific shipping accident.  The bubble wrap was nicely around the two little bowls...but there wasn't much protecting the two biggest bowls.




I'm really starting to second guess buying Pyrex on eBay.

    That really is sad!! That's one of the reasons I don't buy Pyrex on ebay (or haven't yet). Shipping prices is the other reason. The delphite blue is beautiful!

    The Delphite set is one of my favorites! It took me 2+ years to get all 3 so I understand your excitement and happiness at its completion. Congrats!!!

    So sorry to see the 403 and 404 primary bowls didn't make it. I really don't understand why sellers do not make the effort to completely protect each and every bowl in the box :( Hope you will get a refund or some type of compensation for them!
