The other day, I stopped at an estate sale and picked up this pretty milk glass bowl...
but it's not Pyrex.
It sure looks like Pyrex, although the white is slightly more blue than some of the opal pieces I have.
But you can tell it's the same size and shape as a 403. So does anyone know what it is?
This is Pyrex. Opal white bowls were made for a short time in the '50s I believe, and many of them were unmarked. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Pyrex Opal. I have a small bowl like this and love it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Pyrex!
ReplyDeleteThey made a three bowl set and a fridgie set. Hold one to it, it's unusual :)
They must have also made 4 bowl sets; I have two 4 qt bowls.
ReplyDeleteoh good! Thanks guys! How interesting, I never knew they made sets that weren't marked.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a 4 qt. unmarked opal pyrex bowl, too. I also have the two smallest opal white fridgies. I like them because you don't have to worry about scratching colored paint off! Beth K.
ReplyDeleteI came across 2 white small fridgies at a antique/collectible show yesterday. The guy wanted $20 for the 2. I couldn't bring myself to buy them. $20! and one without the lid. Good to know that they actually made plain white sets. I have some opal pieces, but mine are all marked with Pyrex.
ReplyDeletesheesh! I paid $3 for mine and since I didn't even know if it was Pyrex, I considered not buying it at all. Glad I did. Just goes to show, you should buy what you like.
ReplyDeleteI came across a set of pyrex bowls very cheap but want to know if they are of any value when their color is worn off??
