En Francias?

Yup, that's Pyrex!

Have you ever spotted one of these?

I picked up two of these in a Goodwill today and was stumped. I saw the "PYREX" label in the middle, with a little flame above it. 

On one handle it was embossed "FRANCE" 

and on the opposite label is said, "474-L"

At the Goodwill I got on my smartphone, 

but I found nothing. 

So, I decided to take it home. 

 

I should have made the connection at home, 

but I didn't. 

French! 12 little holes...

This is an escargot dish, I finally discovered!

I bought both, because what else would I do?

And now they're for sale in my Etsy shop. 

Have you ever seen these before???

Next, today I found my second Spring Blossom #933, 

now I have two:

So I put one for sale in my Etsy shop as well. 

I find Spring Blossom Pyrex dishes like crazy, 

and it's not my favorite print, though I like collecting it for now...

And finally, I recently scored on the lime loaf pan. 

It came with lots of scratches and caked on food, 

but with a little Bar Keeper's Friend it cleaned up nicely!

Now it sits on my hutch, collecting little tart pans.

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.

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.
