I thought they were cute, too. And retro! I have Pyrex for measuring cups, but I never thought of mixing bowl containers. I don't like Pyrex for pie plates and bakers.

I understand the originals are quite collectible.

I remember those small square dishes with the red decoration on the side.

They used to be the big thing and those brown clear glass sauce pans

You see them by the handfuls now at the Flea shows.

I just ordered Curtis Stone 2.5 sauce pan from Hsn hope it gets out before the hurricane. Everything old is new again. I collect aluminum measuring cups. My favorites. Got 'em from Etsy and antique/junk shops.

don't like those big cups of plastic and glass . They're small and

sturdy and I like retro kitchen stuff.

I have some from the late 60's in turquoise that have the "farm" pattern like the new ones shown this week. Also have larger mixing bowls in that pattern in pink. I wonder if the new ones are the same quality? I have my Pyrex bowls stored since I started buying TT, but may bring them out again. They sure do last.

That's a great deal! I got the striped ones on sale at Target last year, and I love them. They aren't the same as the old Pyrex bowls - shape is different and they are lighter. I like them a lot better than my clear glass Pyrex bowls because they are easier to handle. I use them every day!

They're crazy expensive in thrift stores! I can't believe it! I saw a set I gave to one of the kids who works for me selling for $50! Bowls??? Wow!

I love Curtis Stones cookware. Just started with it a few months ago. Clean up is a breeze and they seem so well-made. Re: Pyrex--I have several pieces stored away since I got TT. My Pyrex are from the late 60's. I figure if TT is really proven to be unsafe, I'll bring out my Pyrex again. Nice to see those "old" styles coming back. Mine are mosly in the turquoise and I do have a set of mixing bowls that are white w/pink.

Discovered recently how great Pyrex glass works for baking meatloaf. It doesn't stick like metal and is easy to drain and clean

@Twins Mom

Oh, rats. I gave away my old glass pyrex meatloaf-shaped dish years ago. After what you just said, I want it back!

Some of the old stand-bys in cookware are probably much better than the new stuff being plugged everywhere today. I have lots of other Pyrex items and do use them often.
