Pink Pyrex Bowls

Quite a few of years ago I became a little obsessed with pyrex, as I do many things. I started collecting and I didn't really ahve any direction. I didn't know about prices, styles or anything, I just got what I liked at really cheap prices, if I thought they were in good enough condition. Lucky for me, my mom is a big antiquer and she picked me up a ton of great pieces. Her friends fount out and did the same for me.

As the ones we spend time with get into new things and you help them collect something, that person might start to like those kinds of things as well. My mother ended up getting quite a bit of her own collection of pyrex as well. Her things varied, in a sense, even more than I did. These bowls are hers. They are amazing and in great condition. They are well saught after and I have a hard time letting her give them up. She has given them to me to sell on my etsy, along with some other of her pastel pryex pieces.


My pyrex is currently packed away in hiding, as I am between places right now. I would love to keep these I just don't have the room, or the capablitity to go through my own things in order to have these bowls replace something.

Also, take a look at this adorable 50s pink tin shelf I found in my mom's many storage areas. I cleaned it up but it still needs a good scrubbing. It is perfect for displaying all of these pastel creamy vintage pieces.


I am hoping someone out there, maybe someone reading this, will fall in love with them and offer them a good home! And of course, if you are interested in purchasing these three lovely bowls, check out my etsy shop

UPDATE: Sold on March 16, 2011

MacBeth Evans Pastel Strip Petalware

These are my favorite plates.

They are a creamy milk glass with pale pink green and blue stripes around the edge. They're a great size for lunch or dessert, and would look adorable with other depression glass era, or other spring/Easter decor.

Look how nice they fit in with other pastel colored things. I debated whether or not to keep them ever since I bought them. I bought them knowing I would sell them, but I love them so much. Compromise? I am keeping the two with little chips in them, and selling the ones in great condition.
And, don't they look great on the cake plate I just sold?

I have this last picture to demonstrate the opaqueness of the plate. The petal part of the plates is thinner and more delicate milk glass, so the light shines through there more, and it gives off a lovely sheet. These plates are so delicate and girly, I love them.

They are available for sale on my etsy shop, click here.
