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.
I just wanted to inquire about a pattern that I have not found on your web site. Today it was sold on e-Bay for $984.00, a 443 Cinderella. The listing called it Blue Dianthus. Just curious if you ever heard of it. Thank You Stephanie
There are several bowls known with the pattern, which falls in the rare/HTF/unknown category. They are documented here: https://www.hotforpyrex.com/made-in-the-usa-rare-htf-unknown
and believed to be from the early 1960s as a test pattern, perhaps as a possible replacement for Sandalwood.
