I needed the red mixing bowl to complete my set and finally came across one today at an antique shop. It's not perfect, but I went ahead and paid twelve dollars for it. I think it was a fair price. The blue I found at my neighborhood Goodwill here in Portland, OR for four dollars, and the green I found at a Goodwill in Miami, FL also for four dollars. The yellow belonged to my grandmother, and I had it for a few years before I started collecting Pyrex. My dad let me keep it when we cleaned out her kitchen, along with her vintage kitchen utensils. It's the one bowl that always makes me smile when I use it.
Congrats on completing the set. That red is so hard to find in decent shape!
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo......congratulations on completing your primary set!! Paskiaq is right...it's very hard to find a red in decent condition.
ReplyDeleteI'm really happy that you were able to get this set for less than the minimum of 75-80 bucks that I've seen on etsy/ebay. I just completed my set last week (I needed the blue bowl) and I just love it. I go to the kitchen occasionally just to look at it LOL.
ReplyDeletemy mom had these and when I saw a red one at our local thrift, I bought it, but it the BIGGEST bowl (in a set.) I thought the biggest was always yellow. Did they switch the colors sometimes?
