My Pyrex goal

Post by Bonnie Scott »

After seeing this picture of the eight pieces of the first Pyrex ever made it became a goal for me to collect all twelve pieces and I am getting pretty close. There are 8 in the collection donated by Jerry Wright and 9 in the catalog picture. Can you help me figure out what the remaining 3 pieces are?

I am hoping my new square dish is one of them.

Hard to say for sure. The ads in the first few years also show a round "layer cake dish", a rectangular "utility dish", a round "pudding dish", and a "petite marmite" which is like a small covered bean pot. Uncertain as to which if any are considered part of the "first 12".

Thanks, now I have a better idea what I need to be looking for.

I wish this seller was just selling the square dish. I like it. The pie dish is cool but I already have it.

Oddly, there was not a set in the Pyrex exhibit at the library, but there was one in the display of various uses of clear Pyrex in the museum:
