Early American

Considering tomorrow is Independence Day, sharing my most recent Pyrex acquisition seems appropriate.  The Early American pattern is obviously not as colorful as some of my more coveted collections, so I never really gave it much consideration.    A few weekends ago, my husband started receiving some anxious texts from his parents who were on holiday a few hours from home in an antiquing town called Berlin, OH.  They had spotted this set at a great price and were wondering if we needed it in our collection.   

I wasn't able to respond in a timely manner, so they brought the goods home with them.   The set was in immaculate condition and they kept mentioning how cute the cat was.   Having not given this pattern much thought before, I had never noticed the cat.   My husband is a cat lover so he was stoked to add this beautiful mixing bowl set to our collection. 


 

Now that this set has been in my home for a few days, they have already gotten their share of use.  I'm always excited for my collection to grow and very pleased that so many of my loved ones are contributing to the fun!
