Vintage Kitchenware Gooseberry pink on white mixing bowl from mid-century Pyrex Cinderella series 440. This bowl is part no. 443, 1½ quart. 

Vintage kitchen mixing bowl in very good condition. 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 extremely desirable today.

Since the invention of the dishwasher, most Pyrex Gooseberry bowls found today have heat and water damage to the pattern causing color fading. In use for approximately 60 years, most of these mixing bowls show major scratching.

This bowl is as bright as the day it was made and has minimal shallow surface scratching. Must look close to find.

Vintage kitchenware 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.

We have another smaller 1½ pint #441 Pyrex Cinderella Gooseberry pink on white mixing bowl available as shown on the right in image 1. The bowl offered here is on the left in image 1. More Gooseberry items available in Kitchen Glass category.
