Vintage is the new "NEW"

So I stumbled upon a photograph of someone that collects vintage Pyrex. 

And I couldn't help but think, man if I had extra money to splurge, I'd totally hunt thrift shops and Goodwill for these beauties!


 I just adore these three dishes! 








I dunno perhaps I am just so partial to glass. plastic just isn't good anymore. Esp for heating things in! 

Do any of you have any old school Pyrex?

  1. I have a old Pyrex bowl that used to be my mothers. I LOVE it! It is so big I use it as a pasta dish! I LOVE pyrex in general I do not use plastic for anything anymore!

  2. we have several antique shops that hoard vintage pyrex! i love it. i can't afford it for the price they are offering and i think i would like mis-matched rather than a complete set.

    vintage is totally the new 'new' and it's no longer 'metrosexual' its 'retrosexual', lol.

  3. All of those pictures brought me right back to childhood at my grandparents house. I remember using those bowls for making brownies, and the casserole dishes for making homemade baked mac n'cheese. You have me now wondering if any of those bowls are tucked in boxes somewhere.

  9. Oh I love it!!! I agree that glass is my preference over plastic. I have heard some horror stuff with using plastic to heat things up, so I have always used glass dishes throughout the years. Vintage is really making a comeback!!! :) xo

  21. I'm one of those antique dish loving ladies and of all my scouring the stores, vintage Pyrex is extremely rare AND expensive...but definitely worth the price. I just don't think I could use it though - I'd set it out to look at, haha.
