1957 Black Tulip 043 oval casserole promo with original cradle.

A Woodland (1978-1983) 470 Cinderella round casserole set I recently completed. Interesting in that we often don't notice the subtle differences in the decorative pattern from one dish in a set to the next.

While often seen referred to as a Pyrex seasonal promo from 1973, the Salton Cosmopolitan H109-C Hot Casserole Set was one of several items in that company's "Cosmopolitan" range of electric warmer food and beverage serving units, the casserole being merely an outsourced component. Suggested retail then was $19.95, which is about what I paid total for the dish and warmer from a thrift and eBay. Cha-ching!

1965 Regency 043 promo. Earthtones like Town & Country, Terra, and Early American were among then-current standard patterns. Decoration elements foreshadow 1969's Horizon Blue.
