conulyI have lately been building up my stock of Butterfly Gold dishes. My sister thinks I am crazy obsessed. Nothing could be further from the truth (although I do intend to get a pair of these mugs for the girls, just because I think they'll enjoy them), and as proof, I offer this interview (with photos) of somebody who really DOES have a large collection of vintage Pyrex.
I found that when trying to figure out if I could put my casserole dishes with lids in the oven, or if the lids weren't oven safe. The answer I got is that vintage Pyrex really is oven safe, but after a certain date it's not so much. (They changed the manufacturing process, and newer Pyrex explodes with alarming frequency. The company says that only happens when not used properly, but....) Sadly, I don't know when my particular dishes were made (because Butterfly Gold spans both the "safe" and "not safe" periods) and also, lids are often sold to match items they weren't sold with. So... not so helpful, and if I stick my casserole dishes in the oven I guess I'll use foil?
