Terra Pyrex!
Are you a fan of the Pyrex pattern Terra? I have heard many people aren't! I am. This pattern isn't one of them glossy, attractive patterns, but I like the darkness, matte & whole design of it. I like the patterned lid, too.

I wanted to buy my father & his new wife a piece of Pyrex for their wedding. It needed to be NIB (new in box) & in a price range which would be affordable to me (in addition to shipping charges, which are a bitch). My father has Autumn Harvest mixing bowls, so mixing were nixed from the list. I had set my eyes on Snowflake, but NIB didn't turn up. The Brides casserole did, however, I just couldn't afford it. Wouldn't that have been perfect? Well, I bought them a set of 3, when they arrived only 2 were sealed, so I only gave them 2, which means one for me.
I have yet to have access to my scanner & the CamScan app just doesn't do it for me, so just the good 'ol Cannon Rebel. Hope you enjoy the Terra booklet!

I saw a set of Terra casseroles at the flea market when I very first started to collect Pyrex. I think Hanna was with me. I also think they had the original boxes. I'm not sure why we didn't get them. In the box Pyrex is an awesome wedding gift. I am the Maid of Honor in an October wedding but I don't think the couple would appreciate something like this. I'll just buy them something from Target!
ReplyDeleteI love giving Pyrex as a gift!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing the brochure!! Can I Pin it? I know a lot of folks are into the pink and blues (myself included) but I love earthy colors of the 60s and 70s as well. Terra fits in perfectly! That's great your dad is a fan of Pyrex and you have someone who appreciates it to gift it to!

DeleteI own just 3 booklets that I want to scan one day. Wish my HP Pavilion didn't go kaputs!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift!! I have one piece of Terra, it's so different it hardly seems like Pyrex.
ReplyDeleteTerrific idea for a wedding gift. I've never seen Terra in person, but love the lines and the fact that it's matte.
ReplyDeleteI love the Terra set, awesome to see the packaging with it! I've had two Terra cups and a bowl for 3 years or so I can't sell, though ;p
ReplyDeleteLove it! The earth shades give the impression of true pottery!
ReplyDeleteTerra is a pattern that fascinates me! It's very unique Pyrex. Great find!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the hunt for the lid for my Terra casserole dish.

I love this whole post, not only because it's about Pyrex (awesome) but because you've shown the original box, the booklet...great history here! Featuring this on my Link Party Features Pinterest Board this week! Thank you for sharing this at my History & Home link party - take care. -Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cool and thoughtful gift. I like Terra. It's a very visually interesting pattern. We used to see it a lot around here, but not so much lately. I'd love to get my hands on the one with the blue stripes!
ReplyDeleteI had to just Google that piece! Nice one. I just recently saw the orange, yellow, green mixing bowls via Google before posting this. Always seems to be some new, great pattern that I have never seen before!
