My Pyrex Shelf Runneth Over

I hauled three huge, heavy boxes of books to Goodwill yesterday, because I had cleaned off the shelves on either side of the fireplace.  What would possess me to burst into such a fit of cleaning and organizing, you ask?  To make room for more Pyrex, of course!

This was the situation before (ugh):


And these are the after photos:  


It's hard to take a decent picture in this room.  The camera flash lights up all the bricks, and it really doesn't look like that in real life.  The non-flash pics are blurry but closer to the way the room really looks.  

Eh, whatever, just concentrate on the Pyrex.


I know there's a little Fire King Gay Fad dish in there, but it's hiding there (in plain sight) until Christmas.


And here are some thrifting finds from last Sunday:  



This little dish looked like an early piece, but I don't really know anything about it.  Unfortunately, the glass is pretty etched.  Is there any way to fix that?

At any rate, I liked it because it was different from other Pyrex I've seen, with its small tab handles.  For 99 cents, I couldn't just leave it stranded.

My husband is developing a keen Pyrex-spotting eye.  These were all his finds just as I was starting to give up hope of finding anything.  Turns out I was in the wrong aisle!
