some of the pyrex colours reminds me of candy. is it just me? i think it’s the way the colours and patterns seem to swirl out from the pure white background.
my most recent finds, in excellent condition:
403 (2.5 qt) horizon blue bowl…
475B (2.5 qt) friendship casserole (no lid)…
i’m not sure what the “B” after 475 means. anyone know?

Would you believe? I just picked up a stack of Pyrex LIDS at a yard sale. Three of them and they fit three of my bowls that had been thus far lidless. They aren’t factory matches, that would be something of a miracle, but they fit and now I can stop using my plates as toppers.
Why you lucky duck! :)
I love Pyrex (as you know) and agree about the candy colors. I have such happy kid memories of being in the kitchen with my mom and her Pyrex bowls and casseroles and cooking and baking such yummy things. ?
shannon, i love looking through old photos and scoping out the background for the different dishes.
nicely done corey!
I so agree that Pyrex colors are reminiscent of candy. My favorite one at home is the flamingo pink. So like cotton candy, it reminds me of carnivals and state fairs. Yum!
yes, that’s exactly the colour, cotton candy!
Friendship is just so happy! It’s definitely eye-candy- nice scores Ana!
eye candy :) it’s sitting happily now in my orange kitchen.
Oh lovely lovely pyrex!!!

I’m one of those weird people who like to research stuff–about anything, for anyone. I took your question about your cheery Friendship casserole as a personal challenge!
Thanks to Corelle Corner, here’s what I found out:
475 refers to the 2 1/2-quart size of the Cinderella Casserole Set. (Scroll about halfway down the page.)

“B” refers to “bowl. (“C” refers to “cover”.) (Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page.)

Scroll way down to “1970s” for info about Friendship. Be sure to click on the link to the 1971 catalogue page about the pattern.; )

Hope this helps!
thanks for taking the time and sharing, pat!
My pleasure! : ) (And I learned a lot about Pyrex in the process, which was fun!)
Ana!!! My kitchen is orange too!!!
Sorry, I don’t know why I got so excited about that. But I did. ;0
