ornate casserole


In Summer of 2007, I hit the open road to go to the Ohio stretch of the Rt. 127 highway garage sale. We had done part of the southern stretch (Tennessee & Kentucky) in a previous year, and at that time I spotted huge quantities of Pyrex. Not so much in Ohio, it seemed.

However, at the end of my last day there, before heading back to PA, I found this piece for $5. According to the Barbara Mauzy reference, this is a piece of decorative, engraved Pyrex ovenware, which was probably manufactured before 1940. The holder is quite ornate, and the handles are actually very sharp to the touch! It's hard to discern in my photo, but the Pyrex lid is engraved with a repeating floral pattern.
