Pyrex ‘Double Tough’ Nappies

Bowls, Nappies, Restaurantware

I don’t know anything about Pyrex – zip, nothing, nada!  I rarely purchase it, although I am fascinated by the array of colours, shapes and designs that Pyrex has come in.  Everyone has owned a piece of Pyrex sometime in their life.

There are a number of Pyrex sites/groups on Facebook.  I joined one for awhile, but since Pyrex isn’t a great interest, I dropped out of the group.  But likely great sources of info for someone else.

I was attracted to these little bowls as I do like restaurantware.  I like the heavier pieces of glass and I am guessing that the intended purpose for these pieces was to be used in a restaurant or heavy use setting.  Hence the ‘Double Ware’ name!  But, who knows, I could be completely off base?  If someone does know more about the history of these nappies, please share.

Pretty Blue Bowl – Pyrex?

Blue Glass, Bowl, Colored Glass, Coloured Glass

I love the colour of this blue bowl.  It is hard to tell, but it is close to a Robin’s egg blue.  It is not delphite, the colour is obviously (I think) painted on.  It has no markings.

I’ve not seen one with this exact shade and have no idea if it is a Pyrex bowl or not.  Afraid I don’t know anything about Pyrex/Fire-King at all and have very few reference materials.

I assume that the rim, shape of the bowl and shape of the foot would be all someone in the know would need to identify this bowl.  If anyone knows, I would be grateful to have the information.

IMG_3588Hard to believe that it has already been two years since this happened.  Where does the time go?

As it turns out I had a nice visit with my daughter last month.  She served some snacks and I noticed that she used her blue bowl and some blue and white Pyrex plates that I had bought for her some time ago.  In fact…I think they were my very first Etsy purchase!  History in the making.

Anyway….when we were rummaging around shops in Florida I came across these little Pyrex bowls, made by Corning.  They seem to be the match for the plates I got her, so I had to pick them up.  They are small…only 5 1/2 inches in diameter.  I imagine that they are ‘berry bowls’.

I actually dragged them out (haven’t gotten them to her yet) last weekend and used them on the table with my own ‘blue’ bowls.  They are a great size for dips, flavoured butters and odds and sods!

If she doesn’t like them, they won’t be hard to keep.

Original Post – April 5, 2013

010My eldest daughter asked me to buy her white and turquoise Pyrex dishes a couple years ago.  Last Christmas she asked for blue Le Creuset mugs.  While I am not a trained investigator, I discerned a pattern.  So….I have been picking up various blue and white pieces for her.

My son was home for a quick Easter visit and I got him to take these pieces up to his sister.  I liked the colours so I thought I’d snap this photo.  The two Libbey glasses and the Pyrex bowls.

My son brings back my car tomorrow.  We will be en route to Cuba, so I won’t know for a week if he has brought back any, or all, of these pieces.
