Know before you buy
Each bowl in this set has a capacity of 1.5 quarts, making them the standard size for the model 402.
To prevent further paint loss or fading, we recommend hand washing these bowls with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the vintage finish.
While Pyrex glass is heat-resistant, vintage pieces can be sensitive to thermal shock. It is best to avoid extreme temperature changes and use these primarily for mixing or serving rather than direct heating.
These bowls are pre-owned and will show signs of age, such as minor paint fading or surface scuffs consistent with their mid-century origin. However, they are guaranteed to be free of any structural cracks or chips.
The 402 model is a classic size, but vintage bowls often have slightly different rim dimensions than modern versions. They are best used as open mixing or serving bowls rather than for airtight storage with modern plastic lids.
