Happy Colors, Happy Dance, a Lid Question!
Look what turned up at Goodwill this weekend and came home with me!
I'd say it's pink, but is there an official name for the color? Against what I thought was a pink piece of fabric, it looks a little more orange-pink. Anyway, I've wanted this particular color 2-quart round casserole for awhile. I even bought what I thought was the lid for it months ago, because I thought sure as anything that when I eventually found the casserole, it probably wouldn't have a lid. I was right about finding it lidless, but I think I may have been wrong about the type of lid. This lid is marked 684-C A-1.
It fits, and it matches the style of the 8-oz mini casserole with lid, but after seeing a page today on Erin's blog from the Pyrex book she got for her birthday, I think there may have been a different lid that came with the casserole.
Like this one, maybe? This was a random Pyrex lid my mom had. There's a number on the rim, 624C B-33.
And I don't think I ever posted about last month's find, a yellow Daisy divided casserole.
Both of these pieces make me think warm and happy thoughts in the middle of this frosty winter. Who's ready for a January thaw?
i also have the pink casserole and when my mom brought it to me it had a lid on it that i thought just belonged to newer, run of the mill pyrex. so i stuck the lid in a drawer. when i got my pyrex book in the mail monday, i was shocked that it seemed to be the right lid, so out of the drawer and back on the casserole. it isn't a pretty lid at all, and it isn't marked with anything. but according to the pic in the book, it is the right lid.
ReplyDeleteI think the color is called Flamingo. It's a funny Pink for sure. I think I need to get a books as I have trouble finding out what lid goes with what.
ReplyDeleteI love the Daisy- it's so cheery! And whatever the shade of pink, it's a nice pop of color- great finds. :)
ReplyDeleteThe 8 oz mini casserole is absolutely adorable! I should bring my daisy divided dish out of the cupboard to help me remember that winter doesn't last forever!! Ready for a thaw indeed!
ReplyDeleteI received two lidless casseroles (lime green & yellow) from my son at Christmas (http://pyrexcollective.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-christmas-pyrex.html). If you find out the type of lid that goes with them, let me know just in case I come across one in my thrifting adventures. Anyway, I love the color of yours and it's great you found some Pyrex!! I have a Daisy divided dish and it's one of my favs.
