Information for the Vintage Glass Kitchenware Enthusiast
Town & Country standard version Cinderella 470 round casserole set. The 1 qt. 473 is one of two in this pattern collection, the other being orange like the 471 shown here.The orange 473 belongs to the 480 set, allowing it to follow the same color sequence as the 470.
Terra, 1964-1965. Earthenware effect created by a technique known as a "scratch process", produced by a patented machine made especially for the purpose. A glossy brown layer was applied and fired on first, followed by a matte charcoal coat. The piece was then affixed to a rotating mechanism that removed bands of the black topcoat. Only round shapes were capable of being decorated in this manner. All Terra pieces were sold individually. Even if you wanted to make a set of bowls or casseroles, you couldn't, as there was inexplicably no 402 round bowl nor a 473 Cinderella casserole. The pattern was short lived, likely due to the extra expense involved in producing it.
