Vintage Pyrex

Pyrex, a product of Corning Glass Works, dates back to 1915. Early Pyrex pieces were made of clear glass.   By the 1940s, pieces in solid colors were being made, and then came the prints in the ’50s.

Above is a collector’s display of pyrex for the Halloween season (estatesales.net).

As of Oct. 10, 2019, these are the pieces I have available at Vintage Affaire, 106 e. 2nd, Taylor Texas.  All pieces show some wear.

A good site to research vintage pyrex online is Corning Museum of Glass, Pyrex Potluck, (pyrex.cmog.org).  Then look at the pattern library and 1950’s Chronicles.

 

 

 

Round Top & Warrenton Antiques Week

Round Top & Warrenton Antiques Week
Twice a year, in Spring (March 21-April 7, 2019) and Fall (Sept. 21-Oct 6, 2019), there are miles of antique shows in Warrenton and Round Top, Texas. For all the info and show dates, go to antiqueweekend.com. With the first bloom of bluebonnets, you know the time for Round Top/Warrenton is soon approaching. The bluebonnets are supposed to be spectacular this year!

I love the quote about flea market season by Stacey McCaffrey, from Pennsylvania, in Flea Market Style: “Favorite thing? That’s a toss-up. There’s the excitement and anticipation when you’re pulling up, wondering what the day will bring. And there’s the people—young, old, those dripping in money or scraping their dollar bills together. I love the diversity!”

Bone Dishes

Bone dishes are crescent-shaped dishes used as part of a Victorian table setting.  They were most popular from the late 1890’s to the early 1900’s.  They were kept at the edge of the dinner plate so the removed fish bones could be stored away from uneaten food.  Today you might reuse them to hold jewelry or soap.

The only one I have at Vintage Affaire at this time is the gold and white one pictured.  It was made by Henry Alcock & Co. of England between 1891 and 1910.
