Vintage Pyrex Bowl Recreations

Noel7 · ‎03-09-2010

Found at Target, in case anyone is interested. $29.99 for a set of three.

Sorry, their photos aren't copying here. My daughter got the turquoise/white set for me with figures on them. They also have a white/black set with birds, and a yellow, red, blue polka dot set.

They're shown on the Target online site if anyone is interested.

There were some reviews about these a couple of years ago on this board and people complained that they were lighter than the original. I think they are adorable, but I have the original from my grandmother.

UPDATE:

Looking for a photo online, I found out QVC also carries them for the same price!

Several sets are on this QVC page link:

I don't know how similar these are, but I got the ones that are sold as singles with the yellow and birdies (yellow snap-on lids) all around them. So cute!

I love Pyrex but with any of my newer stuff I'm more careful, since they switched from borosilicate glass to soda lime glass.

@GSPgirl

Thank you for the information. I'm guessing they would be lighter weight nowadays, I don't think they make Pyrex they way they used to.

I have the wheat set from my mother and one piece of the original turquoise set.

I always wanted the original gooseberry pink set, they are close to $300 for three now on Etsy, but my daughter did find the original three casseroles with lids gooseberry pink set for mother's day.

Hi @chickenbutt !

I'm with you. I was thinking I would just use them as serving bowls, I wouldn't put them in the oven.

I think QVC has the bird set and the yellow. Target has a few online.

My Mom had a soild red pyrex bowl, she is gone close to 3 years, I still smile when I visit my dad and see the bowl on the shelf.

It is a throwback to my childhood and holds very sweet memories.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I'm sorry you lost your mom, @I am still oxox I understand, I still miss my mother after quite a few years.

I also treasure things my mother used, especially for cooking

Hey Noel! I hope you're doing well these days. I think of you often with well-wishes, positive thoughts, and good vibes (FWIW).

I got mine directly from the Pyrex site. BTW, they pack their orders VERY well! I always worry when I order something very breakable from any given company/site. But those babies were packed to the hilt!
