I have two followers - I'm so excited! I know that is very lame but I am hoping to make this blog a great resource for other Pyrex fanatics and the more people I have to bounce ideas off of the better this blog will be.
One of the resources that I am most hoping to develop is a comprehensive official pattern listing. As a collector I have often found it difficult to determine pattern names, especially for obscure pieces. In order to develop this listing I am researching Pyrex advertising and have contacted the library at the Corning Museum of Glass.
The second resource I would like to develop is a product listing for each pattern - I'm hoping this will help those collectors out there that are interested in obtaining each piece of a specific pattern.
If there are other resources out there that you would like to see please let me know and I will do my best to develop these tools.

ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie I am familiar with this one but I have to say I have many patterns that are not listed on this site. I have supplemented it with both of these sites - http://www.corellecorner.com/pyrex-pattern-profiles.html and http://dragonfire1.50megs.com/Pyrex/pattern.htm
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to get the official names from the Corning Museum but that might be tricky as it seems a lot of pieces were introduced as "hostess", "hospitality", "duet" etc. and don't really have good names. Hopefully I can take pictures of all my different patterns this weekend and post them to the site with their "unofficial names".
will you post pics of all your lovely pieces? :)
