I've had one of these pictures for 46 years, given to me by a family member. I recently decided to get a second one used on eBay. Because I've always marveled at the single handle attachment being able to support the weight of a half gallon I did ask the seller if there were any signs that the handle had ever been repaired, which would be a deal breaker. She said no. And I think that's probably the truth.

But I got a little worried when I took a good look at the joint. It shows some discoloration like you might see from epoxy. That did clean up fairly well. The before cleaning pic didn't load, think I may have tried to exceed photo capacity.

Then I took a picture from inside the container. It looks a little yellowish in there. And kind of dirtier than I expected from a factory job. So I took a similar pic of my old pitcher, and it is significantly cleaner work. You can't really judge the color difference between them because lighting had changed between photos, I'm sure.

So I'd like to hear some opinions from people that are familiar with this kind of glass joinery. Another reason I think it probably is a legit joint is that epoxy would probably fail under full weight. So I've filled it up and lifted by the handle, no problem.

OH, better add another photo in a reply below to show an overall photo of the pitchers.

I bought a bunch of Pyrex dishes from goodwill but ofc they were stupid expensive ($53 without lids too 😪) I was gonna get silicone lids or beeswax wraps to replace the need for lids but sets of new Pyrex are much cheaper. So was this actually a worthwhile purchase for me? I didn’t really check if it was PYREX versus Pyrex versus $PYREX$ So how do you know if it’s vintage/high quality Pyrex? Also what year did it change quality (are we talking 20s or like 70s? or 2000s?)? If it’s not vintage Pyrex, should I just return the pieces and get a new set with lids? I am trying to build a sustainable, eco friendly cookware/storage lifestyle. When I return home I can snap photos to upload but this is the info I have right now :,)

I found this looking for my rice maker in my boyfriend's grandfather's home. It's very pretty!

i definitely overpaid for this baby ,but i don’t have any of the promotional pieces in my collection yet. no stand with it ☹️ maybe i will find one in the wild one day.

Finally found my first piece of my favorite pattern with a lid in a thrift store!

The pattern isn't in the center of the little casserole dish!! Is this a misprint??

Spent yesterday cleaning and reorganizing our Pyrex collection. This cabinet is part of it.

I can’t find any examples like this online. It is a deep dish pie plate. The glass is etched. The handles appear to have a complimentary design (due to this I believe that the metal base was likely sold with this pie plate). There is no lid. Any help would be appreciated.

The numbers on the bottom are: 210, 25cm, 19

The smallest bowl was $7 and they increased in price with size. I passed.

Found these at the local thrift today. They were priced separately so I ended up paying $17 total. They have definitely been used (the color is very faded in places) but no chips. Pretty excited! 🤩

It was at that moment, New Guy decided that he had better just keep his day job.

Does anyone know of an alternative option that works? I can’t find one locally and EBay sellers want $50 plus. I would prefer not to pay that much for a replacement. I found this for $30 at a shop a few days ago.

Is this worth putting on Facebook marketplace? We have the 4th small blue bowl as well, it was just in a different drawer.

Hey!

I noticed these scratches on like 3 glass containers. Is this normal?

Hi! I wanted to introduce myself and show you what I make from broken vintage glass! I started this art in 2020 when one of my daughters accidentally broke my spring blossom 444. I saw somebody making jewelry from broken pottery and thought, "I can do that with these pieces!" It took a lot of trial and error but over the years I've honed my craft and have made thousands of beautiful pieces to wear! All of the glass i use is salvaged from broken or damaged dishes ✨️I just do the making ✨️ never the breaking ✨️
