Re: Pyrex Tea Pot

The "squat" teapot appears to date from ~ 1926 to ~ 1935. The switch to a pressed glass manufacturing process around the end of that period probably explains its disappearance. Numbers 22, 24, and 26 corresponded to 2, 4, and 6 cup capacities. The metal lid and tea ball were likely third p...

Re: Pyrex Hunting Today


With the candle warmer I paid up for on eBay. Then I found another thrifting for $3. :roll:

Re: Pyrex Tableware from Restaurants?

Corning offered custom Pyrex dinnerware, most of which seen is that of hotels, restaurants, and military branches. The Pacific Air Forces pattern is also seen with the bands unbroken. The red pattern on the bowl is called Chariot, and is also seen on plates and other pieces. Several others at: http:...

Re: Vintage Pyrex

Does not sound typical. You can compare it to those on this page: http://www.pyrexcollector.com/dating.php but none of those have the word Pyrex arched. A photo would help.

Re: What does it mean? What is it?

P81C is a Corning Ware lid. The 12 and 24 would just be mold numbers. A 622-C is a knob top lid for a 1 quart Pyrex 022 round casserole. The B and U must also be some kind of mold or production line identifiers. Lid model numbers for many Pyrex pieces can be found on this page: http://www.pyrexcolle...

Re: Clear 400 series bowls

These are tough to pin down. I have access to many catalogs and other literature, but haven't found anything among them yet. The only ones I've seen have metric capacity and microwave on them, so that would be mid-1970s at the earliest.
