Know before you buy
This set includes the four standard nesting sizes: 401 (1.5 pint), 402 (1.5 quart), 403 (2.5 quart), and 404 (4 quart).
The 401 and 402 bowls show more significant signs of use compared to the larger pieces. This typically manifests as fading in the 'Flameglo' pattern or minor surface scratches, which are common for kitchenware of this era.
Flea bites are tiny, pin-sized nicks or chips along the rim or surface of the glass. They are purely cosmetic and do not compromise the structural integrity or functionality of the bowls.
Yes, these bowls are made from durable borosilicate glass and are fully functional for mixing, prepping, and serving. However, because they are vintage, we recommend hand washing to preserve the vibrancy of the 'Flameglo' pattern.
While vintage Pyrex is heat-resistant, the high heat of a dishwasher can cause the decorative finish to dull or chip over time. We recommend hand washing and avoiding extreme temperature changes to keep the pattern in good condition.
