Starbursts & Polka Dots!

I picked up two nice Pyrex pieces recently.  I was happy to find this green polka dots mixing bowl to help finish a set -- now all I need is the yellow one!

I also go this starburst casserole & I just love it!

When I went online, though, to try to find out about the pattern & history, I saw one just like it that ended up selling on Ebay for $120!  Can any of you tell me about it -- when it was made, if it was a promotional, what the pattern name is, etc?  Do any of you know why it would sell for so much?  I'm assuming it was bidder's frenzy and that two people just REALLY wanted it a lot!  Regardless of how much it's worth, it's not leaving my collection any time soon!

Thanks for anything you can tell me about it!

Pyrex Polka Dot bowls

Hi there!  I'm Sharon and my blog is icantotallymakethat where ideally I'm supposed to post things I make/craft/create but due to my lack of craftiness and motivation it ends up being more about things I love such as my puppies, cooking/baking, home decor, traveling, antique/thrift store hunting and of course, vintage goodies.  I found The Pyrex Collective through Thrifted Treasure and am happy to be part of the group!

I recently was given a set of polka dot mixing bowls by a dear friend and wanted to show them off here.  You can check out my original post here.

Now I'm excited to go home and take pictures of every Pyrex piece I own! (though I probably should do it a little at a time so my husband does not become too suspicious about my addiction)

*edited to note: I am so sorry but these are by Fire King instead of Pyrex.  I am truly mortified!!!  Now I need to read up on the differences between Pyrex and Fire King!*
