Beautiful Vintage Pyrex Dishes
When I’m out on a thrifting trip, I find it nearly impossible to say “no” once I lay my eyes on some colourful vintage Pyrex. Now I’m stuck with a conundrum! Are my kitchen cupboards shrinking? Or do I need to get a grip on my Pyrex addiction? Either way, here are some beauties I’d LOVE to add to my collection:
All images spotted via Pinterest.
I can just imagine walls of exposed shelving in my kitchen with bowls galore, in every colour of the rainbow, all displayed for my delight! And how fabulous is that entire blue and white collection? I know I have a few pieces tucked away that would fit right in. Sadly, in my little hometown, my Pyrex hunting is limited to just a few key spots, but every now and again I hit the jackpot and I get to bring home something truly special. I LIVE for those thrifting adventures!
So, what can you confess? Are there a collections in your home that you can’t quite contain? Are you a Pyrex hoarder like me?

great now you’ve opened my eyes to vintage pyrex, just another thing I need to keep a look out for 🙂
@Melinda Haha, and now you’ll see it everywhere!
I love that! I remember my grandma had some, and I know my mom does too. I wonder what happened to my grandma’s?
Does she still have it?
oh I just LOVE Pyrex….oh and Pinterest too 🙂
Wow! I’m inspired!
I LOVE vintage Pyrex. I pick it up whenever I see it at garage sales. My mother has a light blue bowl that I remember growing up. She bought all 4 of her kids one just like it on ebay since we were all “fighting” over who would get the bowl when she passes away. Now we all have our own and everytime I use it, I think of my mom.
That is so cool that she was able to find one on eBay. I swear, eBay has everything!
I actually have that orange one with the flowers on the bottom…. I love this! They are so colorful and pretty; perfect for decorating!:)
@Mel, Do you really? Awesome!
@Amy Bellgardt, Yes, it’s actually a nesting set that belonged to my grandmother. I keep them on top of my cabinets for decoration but still use them some. Love them!:)
Love all these colors !! Reminds me of my childhood also. My mother used to have the olive green and harvest gold bowls.

I love vintage Pyrex. I actually have a complete set of those green-blue and also white bowls from my MIL and I use them a lot…. I would love to get more, but I haven’t seen them at many yard sales around.
I have one piece left from a set of my mother-in-laws. It works for everything and I love it!
I have a thing for purple pyrex. There are two shades, one is more pinkish purple and one is a true purple. I’ll take either;) I’ve finally gotten to the point where I won’t buy it if I already have that piece because I’m running out of cupboard space. Thankfully, my husband has managed to live with my addiction/collection!
I love Pyrex tooo! I collect Fire King Jadite and McCoy pottery.
I buy and sell pyrex and fireking. The middle picture on the left is not pyrex. It is fireking.
Thank you for catching that! How can you tell the difference?
Pyrex, Fire King, dragons and purses are my weakness
I love new pyrex storage containers…does that count??
And you of course have got me thinking I need to stalk ebay for vintage pyrex…my husand will not be happy!
