Original Listing Description

This vintage Pyrex Pink stripe on opalware white glass 1 Pint 471 casserole dish complete with 470 lid is a rare find for Pyrex collectors.Made in the United States probably during the late 1950s or early 1960s, ( I am assuming about the time pink gooseberry was in production based on color only?). This original piece features a round princess shape and a glossy finish. This rare and special piece is most likely a prototype, employee exclusive, or a test piece? I found this in western New York State, not too far from Corning NY where Pyrex was headquartered and a few anomaly pieces have been found over the years. I believe all early Pyrex was manufactured in Charleroi, Pennsylvania which is also just a couple hours away from me.I am confident that this is a one of a kind piece. I have searched online archives, shown photos in numerous Facebook Pyrex collectors groups, and I was surprised that I even received a response to an email I sent to Corning Museum of Glass. They informed me that Corning Consumer Products Company (including Pyrex and all archives) had been sold in 1988 to World Kitchen, now known as Corelle Brands. They connected me with Corelle Brands Customer Care who said they could not find any information on my particular dish in their records. He said it is possible that this item was made as an employee exclusive, a specific person or retailer, etc. ?So, I have not found anyone who has ever seen anything like it, even hardcore collectors and the company itself. For now anyway, it is a one of a kind.I have included photos with pink gooseberry pieces for color comparison. This bowl is very nice and shiny. No chips or cracks. No fading or dishwasher damage. It does have some scratches. I took photos outside so you can see every little flaw.I may not be 100% correct on years, colors, manufacturing, etc. I am not an expert or collector. Any questions, feel free to message me.Serious bids/offers only. Local pickup or USPS Priority registered insured shipping only, so cost will be a little higher. I will package securely and double box to prevent breakage. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
