This is one of my favorite Pyrex pieces that I own. It is a bit of a mystery as I have yet to come across an original box, the actual name of the pattern or the year it was manufactured. What I do know is that it seems to be a promotional piece. It has a white lid printed in a gorgeous mod floral pattern that sits on a 2.5 quart yellow base.

The base is a classic #475 Cinderella Round Casserole while the lid has no markings at all. This is unusual as most of Pyrex’s promotional lids have some sort of markings.

Name: ?
Type: Promotional Cinderella Round Casserole Series 470
Size: 2.5 Quart #475
Year: ?

I found this lovely Pyrex gifts ad in one of my old magazines. It features most of my wishlist pieces, including the Zodiac and Gourmet casseroles. The only one I have in this beautiful display is the Empire Scroll casserole which I will soon be showing off here.

Today me and the mister enjoyed the 70 degree weather (sad it is only a tease and tomorrow it’s back to regular Pennsylvania winter temps) and went out for lunch at the Squeeze In followed by ice cream and a trip to the flea market. There was Pyrex galore but all was either too pricey or too damaged:( I did however find a handful of amazing vintage pieces that will be hitting the shop this week!

Hey there! I woke up this morning to find out that I was featured in Antique Week in the “Young Collector” column with my Pyrex collection. I’m beyond excited and just wanted to share! Click the photo for a better look.

Around Christmas I posted my collection of black snowflake pyrex. I searched and searched for an old ad to go with that post with no luck. Then one of my readers sent me a link to this ad from the December 8th, 1956 issue of Maclean’s:
