Three different yellow 063 divided casseroles. On the bottom is the distinctive Daisy school bus orange yellow. In the middle, the subtle hint of green of Verde. The top you may not recognize nor even be aware of unless you have some mid-1960s Pyrex dealer catalogs. It's Town & Country. T&C and "Turquoise" for a time had 063, 043, and 045 ovals in complementary solid shades added to their collections, both of which already included decorated versions of those shapes. The T&C yellow 043 and orange 045 might be mistaken for Daisy or even Friendship, but their colors do not correspond to those of the ovals of the other patterns.

If I'm only going to find half a set, this half in this condition is how I want to find it. Now, if I can only find that other half for $20, too.

Golden Honeysuckle oblong casserole, 1963-1965. Made in four sizes: a 1-1/2 qt. shallow (033) and a 2-1/2 qt. deep (035), plus, in a larger footprint, a 2-1/2 qt. shallow (055) and a 4 qt. deep (058). Non-standard production experiments include a divided Early American 033 and turquoise 058s with white snowflake or Snack Server's "compass" decoration. 033 shown here with original optional walnut serving tray.

1958 Golden Hearts promo reunited with an original candle warmer cradle today. The identical cradle with thinner handle covers belongs to the 1957 "Lace Medallion" promo.

The iconic Butterprint pattern (1957-1968), often seen called Amish, Early American, or Americana, even though other Pyrex patterns were officially named the last two. Merged in 1963 with turquoise Snowflake pieces to create the Turquoise collection, which doesn't seem to make much sense until you take into consideration neither pattern had any shapes in common. Multitone Blue bowls and solid blue oval casseroles briefly rounded out the collection in 1967 before they and the Snowflake pieces were dropped, leaving only Butterprint pieces remaining as Turquoise through 1968.
