How Much Is Vintage Pyrex Worth? Collector Prices and Tips

Many of us remember Pyrex from the kitchens of our parents or grandparents. This colorful, durable glassware was produced by Corning Glassware until 1998 and has become highly collectible. Vintage Pyrex pieces from the 1950s through the 1970s are especially sought after thanks to renewed interest in mid-century modern style and appearances in period shows such as “Mad Men” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

Demand for mid-century modern collectibles has surged in recent years. With Pyrex’s parent company filing for bankruptcy in June 2023, prices for vintage pieces have climbed—and collectors are still watching where values will go.

Below are 20 notable vintage Pyrex items, listed roughly from least to most expensive, including sale dates and prices realized at auction or online marketplaces.

Turquoise Drippings Jar Bowl

Sold: May 28, 2022

Value: $957

Note: A drippings jar was used to store lard and cooking fats. Pyrex produced a rare version of this jar, and examples in good condition are prized by collectors.

Rose Square Hostess Bowl

Sold: June 11, 2022

Value: $999.99

Note: This hostess bowl and lid date to the late 1940s or early 1950s. Hostess sets like this were made to support entertaining and are now collectible for their age and design.

White Snowflake Round Cake Pan

Sold: April 23, 2022

Value: $1,300

Note: The Snowflake pattern was produced in several colorways in the 1950s, including white-on-turquoise (the most common), turquoise-on-white, and white-on-charcoal. Some color combinations were discontinued earlier than others, making those variants rarer.

Atomic Eyes Chip and Dip Bowl Set

Sold: May 2, 2022

Value: $1,438

Note: Known among collectors as the “Atomic Eyes” pattern, this Hot ’N’ Cold chip-and-dip set likely dates to the 1950s. This example included the stand and original box, which significantly increases collector value.

Gooseberry Cinderella Bowl Set

Sold: April 30, 2022

Value: $1,446

Note: Gooseberry lines were discontinued in 1966. Pink-and-white versions are the most commonly seen, but color and pattern variations—including black-on-white or gold-on-beige—are much rarer and more valuable.

Fleur De Lis Bowl

Sold: May 20, 2022

Value: $1,475

Note: This mid-century promotional or hostess bowl features a Fleur-de-lis motif and includes a matching cover. It doesn’t appear to be part of a regular production pattern, which makes it a specialty collectible.

Spring Blossom Casserole Dish

Sold: May 14, 2022

Value: $1,638

Note: Collectors call the Spring Blossom pattern “Crazy Daisy.” It had two production runs in the 1970s with white and avocado-green backgrounds. Complete casserole pieces in good condition remain desirable to mid-century modern enthusiasts.

Atomic Starburst Casserole Dish

Sold: April 29, 2022

Value: $1,626

Note: The Atomic Starburst line was produced in turquoise, black, and cream. Cream examples are particularly rare. This sale included lid, cradle, candle holder, and label—making it a notable find.

Blossom Breeze Bowl

Sold: May 31, 2022

Value: $1,735

Note: A promotional turquoise bowl from 1961, this design—sometimes called “Blossom Breeze”—was not part of a standard line. Pieces with lids are particularly rare.

Orange Barcode Bowl

Sold: April 25, 2022

Value: $2,000

Note: The Barcode pattern is synonymous with 1960s modern design. Produced in 1966 and not widely released to the public, some prototype colorways (yellow-and-black, brown-and-orange, etc.) command much higher prices than the more common blue stripe.

Amoeba 024 Bowl

Sold: May 12, 2023

Value: $2,247

Note: Listed by the seller as a likely prototype, this amoeba-shaped bowl is extremely rare. Prototype status often drives higher sale prices among collectors.

Cinderella Bowl With Unknown Pattern

Sold: May 31, 2022

Value: $2,251

Note: Pyrex produced a number of one-off promotional or test patterns that never reached mass production. This outlined floral motif appears to be one of those rare, unnamed designs.

Plain Turquoise Bowl

Sold: June 10, 2022

Value: $2,325

Note: Simple, unadorned Pyrex pieces are uncommon because the brand is better known for patterned lines. This plain turquoise example from the early 1950s is more valuable because it included its original lid.

The Amish Butterprint Mug

Sold: May 25, 2022

Value: $2,421

Note: Introduced in 1957, the Butterprint (Amish) pattern was among Pyrex’s earliest printed designs. While bowls are common, mugs in this pattern are scarce and thus fetch higher prices.

La Marjolaine Casserole

Sold: May 29, 2023

Value: $2,442.24

Note: Pyroceram-based CorningWare and similar products from the 1970s are collectible in excellent condition. Original colorful pieces like this La Marjolaine casserole are desirable among vintage kitchenware collectors.

Nemacolin Country Club Zodiac Bowl

Sold: May 18, 2023

Value: $2,475

Note: A Zodiac bowl from 1963, this rare version stands out among other Pyrex zodiac variants. Unique or limited regional designs often attract premium prices.

The Pink Duchess Bowl

Sold: July 9, 2022

Value: $2,800

Note: Often called the “Holy Grail” of Pyrex, the 2-quart Pink Duchess from 1959 was a promotional hostess item from Stanley Home Products. Its soft pink finish and gold floral spray make it highly collectible.

Heinz Lid And Baking Dish

Sold: June 11, 2023

Value: $2,950

Note: A promotional piece from 1953–54: shoppers could buy this baking dish for a small extra charge after purchasing specific Heinz products. Prototype clear lids with green “eyes” are known to exist and are exceptionally rare.

The Duck Hunt Bowl

Sold: July 13, 2022

Value: $3,500

Note: Outdoor-themed Pyrex pieces are uncommon. This Duck Hunt pattern, especially when sold complete with lid and cradle, is a standout rarity that attracts strong bids.

Gypsy Caravan Bowl

Sold: May 20, 2023

Value: $3,500

Note: Dating to the 1950s, the red-and-white Gypsy Caravan line featured bowls with complementary scene motifs. Sets and complete pieces from this line are rare and sought after by collectors.

Whether you collect Pyrex for display, nostalgia, or investment, condition, completeness (lids, cradles, boxes), and rarity determine value. If you find vintage Pyrex in an attic or thrift shop, check markings and patterns closely—some one-off promos or prototypes can be worth far more than standard production pieces.
