Pink Gooseberry

I've long been trying to resist the lure of vintage Pyrex. While some of it is really pretty, or retro cool, some is just plain ugly. Also, it's usually priced way higher than I'm willing to pay for pieces that are in good condition. I just never came across a pattern I liked, in a color I liked, for I price I could afford.

Then today my husband said we could go thrifting. :)

I'm lazy and haven't taken a photo of mine yet, but this is what I got. It's in almost perfect condition and the shade of pink is halfway between the two photos. This type of bowl is called a Cinderella bowl and was made in the late 1950s. We paid $17.96 for the set of four.

What a lovely pink present for my husband to give his love on Valentine's day. Now I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled for the matching refrigerator dishes!!!
