Spring Blossom and Avocado Green Pyrex Bowls .... Vintage Things Thursday

Ahhhhh, here we are again..my favorite day of the week. I get to visit all the wonderous vintage thingies from all the sweet participants of Vintage Things Thursday.
Come and join in the fun.
Visit our wonderful hostess Suzanne...@ Colorado Lady..
You will have a fun time with us..we're vintage, but loads of fun. :)
These two lovely little bowls were gifted to me by a very sweet lady. Her name is Pam and knowing how much I love vintage Pyrex, she brought me two from her collection. ooo, Thank you Pam..they will be safe and happy in their new home.
First little Pyrex bowl is a pattern called Spring Blossom. Sometimes also called Crazy Daisy, although the marking are quite different. I didn't realize how different until I started searching for info. This little bowl is avocado / olive green, with a white interior and a white bottom. The markings say it's a 750 ml bowl, with the Pyrex Trademark and 401, baking and microwave. If I have it right, it's from the 60's and 70's.This little olive green mixing bowl is in the 1 1/2 pint size and is the smallest in the nesting set of the Crazy Daisy mixing bowl set. Little bowl has a white interior and a white bottom, with the markings of
Trademark 13 401 1 1/2 pint ovenware. This one I believe to be earlier than the first... My love of Pyrex has taken off again..thrift shops, look out !!... Here I come, searching for Pyrex..

  1. Wow! Who doesn't love Pyrex!!! I think it's safe to say everyone's got one piece in their kitchen. Avocado green was sure a sixties' color; my first house was built in the 1960's and had avocado green appliances. I like the color better on those bowls.

  11. It must come in waves, you know? Lately I've been on the lookout to add to my Pyrex collection. I'm pretty lucky because we've got a retro kitchen shoppe in town that specializes in Pyrex!

  12. Great pyrex bowls. I love pyrex too. My mom had one like the plain olive one but it was red. She used it so much the colour got all chipped off. Great childhood memory.
