Primary Cinderella Bowls...


...okay, this wasn't originally a set.  I saw a set of these someone collected on the big auction site one time and decided to recreate it.  To the best of my knowledge, Pyrex never made a primary set of bowls in the Cinderella style.

I do like the way these colors work together.  I had a hard time deciding between the lighter more pale yellow or a more golden yellow bowl that I came across.  If I come across a decently priced golden yellow 443 sometime, I may try it with the set to see if it looks better.  Anyway, the pieces have all been picked up individually, mostly online (living in a tiny little town 45 minutes from the nearest thrift shops can make collecting locally a little difficult).  I have been trying to determine which sets each of the bowls originally came from, and I believe that the little green 441 is from the Verde Square Flower set, the blue 442 I believe is from a Horizon Blue set.  I am unsure what set the yellow 443 came from, does anybody have any ideas?  I am fairly certain that the red 444 is part of the Friendship set.

Has anybody else collected pieces that didn't originally come together to create a new set?

  1. I love these colors together! I do love matching random bowls together into sets. I especially like the look of all solids like yours.

  4. Wow, I really like those colors! Yes, the yellow definitely seems to be the one from Town & Country--and I LOVE that soft yellow, it looks so good with the verde! I've seen the Town & Country yellow in person and it looks exactly like that.

    What a good idea for a pieced-together set! Now I want one :)
