Pink Gooseberry refrigerator dish with original cover.

In great condition. From the 1950’s Pyrex 500 series. This is the small 1½ cup size, part number 501B.

These quality vintage made covered dishes are perfect for food storage. The glass does not leach into the food and is reused over and over again, no disposable waste. And they can be put in the oven straight from the fridge if desired.

Vintage Pyrex is of far higher quality than new because they were made with borosilicate glass instead of the soda-lime glass used in contemporary products. Borosilicate glass is much stronger and dense.  Pyrex products, vintage and new, are oven safe at reasonable temperatures. Always soak and wash with a soft cloth. Do not scrub with abrasives! It is a bad idea to put vintage Pyrex in the dishwasher.Since the invention of the dishwasher, most Pyrex Gooseberry found today have heat and water damage to the pattern causing color fading. In use for approximately 60 years, most of these sturdy dishes show major scratching and/or fading.

This vintage covered refridgetor Gooseberry dish is in great condition. Very few shallow scratches can be detected if looking very closely. Original lid.

Since the invention of the dishwasher, most Pyrex Gooseberry found today have heat and water damage to the pattern causing color fading. In use for approximately 60 years, most of these sturdy dishes show major scratching. This covered storage bowl is as bright as the day it was made and has no surface scratching.

Produced in 1957 to early 1960’s. The Gooseberry series came in white on pink, pink on white, white and black. Pink on white and white on pink are very desirable today.
