Vintage Pyrex owners could be sitting on a gold mine
Vintage pyrex items have become a hot commodity among collectors, and if you own any of these classic homewares items you could be sitting on a gold mine.
While it’s more than a century after the famous glassware products first made their debut, they remain hot items among collectors with popular Facebook pages like Pyrex Passion boasting huge numbers of enthusiastic members.
A single vintage Pyrex bowl from the 1940s recently sold for a whopping $1,000 recently, with Etsy selling a Pristine Pink Gooseberry Pyrex set for $1,850. NPR even claim some vintage Pyrex pieces in could knick could be worth $3,000.
Pyrex’s shortcomings (pieces are heavy to carry and not dishwasher-safe) have not impacted its popularity with collectors, who love the piece’s durability and pretty patterns, and the fact that they’re usable after so many years.
Pyrex Passion administrator Kristina West, “I'm always surprised by the number of people collecting that didn't know how many others were out there.
“It's like their secret shame.”
Do you have any pyrex pieces at home? Hang onto them, they might be worth a bundle!
