Spotted this orphaned Dainty Maid cradle on eBay last week. Until its "Turquoise Diamonds" bowl turns up somewhere, this plain opal 403 will have to serve as a placeholder. Seen marketed concurrently in separate ads for Mothers Day 1960 were the Dainty Maid Oven Proof Casserole and a similarly decorated Pyrex juice carafe and glasses set, the latter's decoration having starbursts interspersed among the diamonds.

A wholly unexpected find at the old thrift store this morning, these two UK Pyrex 535 Easy Roast dishes. JAJ, ITW, in the USA. Cottage Rose and Market Garden/Tuscany (both names are correct) patterns were early 1970s contemporaries, according to my copy of #dotsanddiamonds by @thatretropiece. Also available with high dome clear lids.
