Ana of Lolabags must love Pyrex just as much as I do. She’s taken iconic pieces of Pyrex and gave them a graphic slant. They would look amazing in the kitchen right next to my collection!

This week’s Pyrex Obsession is a covered casserole that features a distinctive brown pattern printed on a tan background. The lid is white with a bullseye like pattern printed in brown. I love any Pyrex piece that has a printed lid and the fact that this one has that plus a printed base…swoon! The pattern is often referred to as “Brown Onion” but after seeing the original box it seems the pattern is actually called Raffia. It is a 2.5 quart covered casserole with the number 9073 printed on the box and 475-B printed on the bottom. Originally, Raffia came with a brown clear plastic hugger cradle.

This ad for Pyrex features the Cinderella Mixing Bowl Set and the Oven-Refrigerator Dish Set both in the turquoise Butterprint pattern. This pattern is made up of an Amish scene with a farmer and his wife holding a bushel of crops. There are wheat, roosters, and corn stalks surrounding the couple. The Butterprint pattern was also available in yellow and pink.

The Cinderella Mixing Bowl Set included four bowls that nested together in the following sizes: 1.5 pint, 1.5 quart, 2.5 quart and 4 quart. The Oven-Refrigerator Dish Set included of two 1.5 cup dishes, a 1.5 pint and a large 1.5 quart.

I found this Scroll Chip and Dip Set over the weekend at a local antique shop. This one has been on my wishlist and I was so excited to find it with the original gold piece that holds the bowls together! The promotional set is from 1959 and includes a large 4 quart bowl and a smaller 1.5 pint bowl, both in the cinderella shape. The same scroll pattern can be found in white on blue and white on pink.

The pattern is a gold scroll printed upon an ivory background. I have seen the original box to this and although the pattern is often referred to as Golden Scroll, the box calls it Deluxe Chip and Dip Set Gold on Ivory. The paper work included in the box on the other hand does call this Golden and offers some ideas on how to use the set:

* Use for snacks as Chip and Dip Set
* Use for party punch bowl
* Use bowls separately for mixing, baking and serving

Name: Golden Scroll (Gold on Ivory)
