~ Pyrex Butterprint... and my can of Bar Keepers Friend....

I am late. So late. I had not realize there was a contest going on for Bar Keepers Friend. 

What I can do... is show off why I love this magical can of goodness. Along with my Mr. Clean sponge. These two items are my go to cleaning products for practically everything in my kitchen.  Especially when cleaning vintage glassware.

See that cooked on... grime covered Butterprint dish. The one that the glass lid had decades worth of burnt nasty in all the grooves.

The one that I purchased for 3.99 at the thrift store. And had been there looking all ugly, with no takers. Well it got a forever home with me. I knew I could make it pretty again.

With a little time... a sink of warm water and that can of Bar Keepers Friend. A little miracle can happen. I pour some power out on the counter and dip my damp sponge in it. And get to rubbing.

Look how pretty she turned out!  The only time I have run into issues with baked on grime... is in those tiny thin areas on the inner handle. It requires a tooth pick or a small tooth brush... a wet paste made from Bar Keepers... and patience. Sometimes I need a little help with the patience. 

I have always used Bar Keepers Friend for cleaning my vintage glass. It has never dulled anything I have worked on. Or scratch up the design.

(Every thought shared here, is from my own bias opinion. These pictures are from my original post from Farm Girl Pink @ 2013 which I decided to share here. Strictly so you can see how well the product has worked for me in the past. And I buy my Bar Keepers Friend from my local Kroger...)

Please identify me (and Hello!)

I guess I should actually start with hello!

I'm a new blogger to the Pyrex Collective II (but a long time lurker) I come from Sunny San Diego by way of Virginia. You can often find me searching thrift stores, yard sales and estate sales for Pyrex and other vintage goodies. I've even got my husband in on the search. Yay!

This past weekend, I spotted a set of 4 mugs at an Estate Sale. Can you help me identify them? Only one is actually labeled Pyrex. The other 3 are labeled "Corning Decor Dinner Ware"

Any insight is much appreciated. I am on the fence about whether I am keeping this set of adding them to my Etsy store .

Thanks in Advance!

I Heart Bar Keeper's Friend!

My mom told me any Pyrex I found in her cabinets I could keep. I searched thoroughly for any trace of the Butterfly Gold pattern dishes. My parents received this set as a wedding gift and over the years, pieces have been broken, lost, and misused at the hands of their children (Sorry, Mom!).

My searching paid off. I found two pieces! One bowl that had suffered some type of burned food incident that was no doubt, my fault many years ago. If I had found this piece at Goodwill, I probably would have left it on the shelf. Now I know better.


Before



After



This bowl has looked like this for YEARS!



After a few minutes of Bar Keeper's Friend

Lovely set (I can't figure out how to rotate the picture.)

This was my first attempt with Bar Keeper's Friend. I am really impressed! I can't wait to clean up some more pieces. I now have two FREE pieces to bring to my home. I love Pyrex gifts.
