Horizon Blue, 1969-1972. The 500 set, FINALLY. For the fridgie collector, perhaps the most maddening set to complete. The blue 502, while it may appear so, is NOT the same shade as that of the primary colors set. Even in photos, lighting angles and reflections can cause confusion. The only way to be sure you have the HB one is to check the backstamp: HB 502s are stamped with the capacity; primary blue 502s are not.

The dishes that the Willow was modeled after are really pretty.

Hunting today, yesterday actually, I scored a primary green bowl, a 441 in pink gooseberry, red fridgie, and a blue fridgie! My primary set is now complete! Now I just need to compile a numbered and unnumbered set. My yellow and red are unnumbered and blue and green are numbered. I also just need one more red fridgie to complete that set! Woohoo!

The refrigerator dishes had two slightly different design molds used to make them. You may want to try to find another red which matches the one you have now. The differences are described here:

The cradle is a bit tarnished as is to be expected, but the dishes and lids are mint.

I always found this electric warmer's connection to the Lucky In Love casserole's lid interesting, so I bought this one when I found it cheap. Spent a few more months waiting for the matching carafe in decent condition to be available reasonably. Missed the auction end once, saw it relisted, and snagged it the next time. It is mint. And even came with an original pamphlet.

I'm a little jealous of your completed coffee pot. That looks like it just came out of the box.
