Well I finally found a set for $25. Those bowls are not allowed to be used and displayed in the china cabinet..

All in the perspective, I guess. That being said, the primary colors in small town antique markets are priced in the $45 to $60 range but they seem to sit on the shelves for quite awhile. I, too, fill most of my booth with smalls - mostly because I don't have room for a lot of furniture and it is much easier to acquire smalls around here than big items. I can pack the truck with smalls from a day of garage sales and thrift store picking. My basement, unfortunately, is packed with them too!Hunting Tigresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634751062464937129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-11825766525199906782012-06-20T20:55:29.523-05:002012-06-20T20:55:29.523-05:00Haha, that's hilarious, because me and my fian...Haha, that's hilarious, because me and my fiance raided his parents cabinets and took all of their vintage Pyrex and Anchor Hocking!! His parents were married in the late 60s, and got most of the older Pyrex from the 50s and early 60s from his dad's mom.<br /><br />One of the casserole dishes had an odd tint and no lid, it wasn't Pyrex, so I googled it and found out that it was made in 1932. His father was born in 1933, so he must have ate plenty of meals out of it as a child, and now so will our future hypothetical children. :D I actually stole an Anchor Hocking one my mom had because it had the lid, lol!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-51166802042465481212012-06-19T21:49:15.828-05:002012-06-19T21:49:15.828-05:00Yeah for a bit I got sucked into picking up the Pr...Yeah for a bit I got sucked into picking up the Primary colours and making sets, up north here there around 50-65 per set. I'm kinda done with them and mostly have seconds left over now that are faded. I still look for Pyrex but mostly odd or rarer pieces now, it's kinda like Tupperware and the market seems flooded with everyone raiding Granny's cupboards for mixing bowls. I look mostly now for Hazel Atlas, Anchor Hocking or Bartlett Collins glass now.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646463582447530152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-40587639657906307452012-06-19T15:24:18.906-05:002012-06-19T15:24:18.906-05:00Oh how I LOVE Pyrex, its great to use and wonderfu...Oh how I LOVE Pyrex, its great to use and wonderful to look at!

They are so much easier for people to buy and easy to pick up and transport. Smalls pay the rent (and then some!) It's really pretty easy to accumulate a ton of smalls too. I know you aren't an auction fan but the right auction can completely fill a booth with smalls. <br /><br />I haven't paid much attention to the Pyrex primary bowls around here. I just completed a set and will probably sell it at some point but there is no way I'd be asking anywhere near that price! Probably half at most.Vintage Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150716085151145549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-64200033798074232292012-06-19T08:23:49.072-05:002012-06-19T08:23:49.072-05:00We just drove through Indianapolis and stopped at ...We just drove through Indianapolis and stopped at a sizable antique mall called Southport and I was surprised to see the primary color sets there were in the $85 - $115 range!

I think the color was a bit fading, though. But they are always in the $50-85 range!<br /><br />I love to look at all the salt and pepper shakers the owner has, even though I don't collect them, some are too cute. The prices there are usually very cheap/reasonable (for an antique mall)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
