Know before you buy
The 501 is the smallest dish with a 1.5-cup capacity, the 502 is a medium 1.5-quart size, and the 503 is the largest, holding 1.5 quarts. This set includes two 501s, one 502, and one 503, providing a range of sizes for everything from condiments to leftovers.
While these dishes are made of durable borosilicate glass, they are vintage items. It is generally recommended to avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, and we suggest hand-washing to preserve the integrity of the vintage glass and original lids.
These dishes feature original press-fit lids designed for refrigerator storage. While they provide a secure cover to keep food fresh, they are not leak-proof or airtight, so they should be kept upright during storage.
Good vintage condition indicates that the items have been previously used and may show light signs of wear, such as minor surface scratches or slight fading of the paint. We ensure that all pieces are free of chips, cracks, or structural damage that would impede their daily use.
To maintain the vibrant primary colors and prevent the glass from dulling over time, we recommend hand-washing these dishes. Harsh dishwasher detergents and high-heat cycles can cause the vintage finish to fade or chip.
