I remarried 2 years ago into a family of antique dealers. I have moved into a 1906 home that we are restoring/ updating. Although my kitchen has modern conveniences, I am using vintage Pyrex refrigerator dishes, casseroles, and mixing bowls. I enjoy many of the patterns. We eat on Fire-King jadeite dishes that match my kitchen. Before I met my husband, I wouldn’t have antiques in my house!! Now I love them. I have found a respect for the quality of the glassware, not to mention how much fun they are to use. The best part, I use it for a while, then rotate it to the antique shop and get “new” ones! I gave away all my dishes from the 80′s… yikes, they maybe antiques soon!

Furnishing a kitchen, why anyone would buy new, when there are so many quality items waiting to be reused?
The best part is, it is inexpensive and usable and usually easy to replace.
For years, We have collected and cooked with Pyrex and Corning Ware, stored food in Pyrex and eaten from Corning’s Centura dishes. All of it is 1950-60-early 70′s vintage, and all American made.
Our everyday glasses are mid-century American made, too. They are Seneca Driftwood and Morgantown Crinkle. And, our table is mid-century “Swedish Modern” from Wisconsin.
It is interesting to know that our kitchen has become fashionable.

this is what started it all. I collected so many Pyrex bowls that Marty asked one day, ” do ya have enough bowls there Vic?”, and I realized I would never stop buying them so I had to start selling them. I bought two of them today.
