And last but not least, a find that I'd love to get more information about. I absolutely have to give credit to my boyfriend for finding this one. We were at a sale, and I hadn't gotten to the kitchen section yet. Well when Kenny spotted this he instantly came bounding over to me with that "look what I found" grin! It's nice to have another trained eye around! Anyway, this is marked 1 1/2 Qt 023 (and I don't know if this matters, but the Pyrex stamp is backwards). I cannot seem to find any cradle that looks remotely like this in my Collectors Guide, on Pyrex Love, or Flikr.... Any more info about this would be much appreciated!! | |
I think the 'backwards' Pyrex is so you can see it through the dish on the other side. Love that mug!

I have a 1956 Pyrex ad that shows your last casserole with the nifty cradle:

Unfortunately the scan quality isn't the best so I am not able to read the text - but this is the first time I heard of finding it "in the wild." Congrats, what a great score!
ohmygosh- Thanks for the link, linda! What an awesome ad! I loved the cradle before, but I realllllly love it now knowing its from 1956!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, and wow!! What great finds!! Especially the one with the cradle!! You need to give ole Kenny a big hug, LOL!! I'd be happy to find any piece of Pyrex with a cradle, but so far, no luck on that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat cradle! I recently found the divided oval Snowflake casserole as well ~ isn't it pretty?
