apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I have a pink one that's about the size of the green one in the photo. Used to have the big yellow one, but a cat destroyed it. I find that I use my pink pyrex more than the fancy mixing bowls from Williams Sonoma. There's something about it that's very satisfying.

I have a very similar set from Crate & Barrel - primary colors, nesting (though I think my set has 6 bowls). I love it - I never use anything else. They also make really cute serving bowls for parties and dinners.

I have the pink/white combo i took from my mom's house. It feels so good to mix a pound cake in it. I almost feel like June Clever.
So old they're almost new.

My mother has the set in the same color scheme shown above. I wouldnt be surprised if there was a fight over who gets those bowls after she passes away.

My Mom has that same set that she uses at the cottage. She found the set at a tag sale. My set is like that only all of the bowls are turquoise. It was also a tag sale score.

For years I remember my mom using a set that had a pilgrim theme in turquoise. I think some pieces went missing over the years. The set was a wedding gift to my parents in 1963.

My mother used those when I was growing up in the '60. Then, somewhere in the '80s, she discovered that antique stores were plugging them as antiques. She was first horrified, and then I guess she decided to go along with it because she put them down in the basement to save them. I'm about to drag them out again and use them because I love them.

Thanks for reminding me, I had temporarily forgotten how I covet my mom's fully matched, white and teal set. She'll never let them go.

I have the complete set and love it! I originally bought the set off ebay to give as a wedding gift. When the box arrived, the yellow bowl was smashed into a thousand pieces. I just kept the other ones for myself (giving a different gift to the couple) and eventually I stumbled across a replacement yellow one in perfect condition at an antique fair. I love all of the retro Pyrex stuff (especially the "friendship" pattern with red roosters).
