Pyrex Love!! Displaying, Using, & Collecting Vintage Pyrex

Vintage Pyrex kitchenware is a very hot item. 

Pyrex has been around since 1915 and was used as an every day item in the kitchen. 

Do you remember making brownies in a turquoise mixing bowl? Or being at a church potluck and spooning out a casserole from a pink baking dish?
Or Grandma's 70's printed coffee mugs?

Vintage Pyrex pieces are very trendy right now because they are pretty, colorful, and best of all functional and still very affordable.  If you are looking for a way to add a little charm and color into your kitchen- try vintage Pyrex!

Here are a few ideas to get you started displaying, using and collecting Pyrex:

Displaying

Add a pop of color to your kitchen by displaying pieces on your shelves.

Combine your Pyrex with a vintage tablecloth.
