Today I had the opportunity to buy a new in box hearts casserole - alas I did not. The piece was in great condition, the cradle all shiny and bright - the little Pyrex pamphlet was even there. The price was $60 which although I have not come across any "NIB" pieces seemed high and I unfortunately have a very bad association with this specific pattern. The shop also had a couple of dandelion (this is what I call them - sometimes referred to as fireworks I think) divided casseroles with cradle and the box - but since I already have two of these dishes I resisted the urge to buy them.
Another type of Pyrex that I seem to be coming across quite often are clear glass in silver holders. I bought a couple this weekend - both times at thrift shops and wonder whether this is something I should continue to collect - your thoughts on this are appreciated.
All in all I'm trying to only buy pieces that I don't currently have as I've amassed quite a few pieces and I am quickly running out of room for it all. That being said I also can't pass up a bargain so if I see it for the right price I'm likely to pick it up which might be good for other collectors as I'll likely sell my duplicates soon enough.
Well I have a lot more on my mind - but I also have quite a few pieces that I need to wash - so until next time.
