SOLD Vintage Pyrex Pink Gooseberry #443

SOLD Exceptional condition. 2-1/2 Qt. H: 10cm D: 22.2cm L: 27cm Gooseberry, along with Butterprint, was the first pattern released on the new Cinderella Mixing Bowl set. In 1957 Butterprint and Gooseberry were introduced for the opalware Pyrex line, preceded only by Snowflake and Pink Daisy. Along with Butterprint, Gooseberry was one of the first patterns debuted on the new “Cinderella Bowls.” Cinderella Bowls were a series of large nested mixing bowls with a handle or spout on each side, which were designed by John Philip Johnson. The name Cinderella was applied to quite a few different Pyrex products from carafes to butter dishes but the spout and handle nesting bowls marked the first use of this name. Because the Gooseberry pattern was one of two patterns first released on the new spout and handle nesting bowls, the Cinderella name has become synonymous with this type of Pyrex nesting bowl.
