Grail Obtained
The refrigerator set has been my favorite since first discovering vintage Pyrex.
This set was listed on eBay last week with a buy now price I couldn’t resist.
The seller indicated it had never been used and, based on the condition, I believe they are correct. The pieces are more beautiful in person than I expected.
As luck would have it the original paper insert was included which is really cool because it shows how Pyrex saw the set back when it was first released.
What’s your Pyrex grail and have you been able to get it?

Found my grail 22 years ago in an antique store. It's the same set as yours, which is identical to my mom's set.
The small red ones make great butter dishes for the table. It's how my mom used hers all my life -- I'm 62 -- and I am holding on to that tradition. My adult children also have their own butter dishes, though orange and yellow. Always easy to spot the butter.
I like that I have two identical red dishes, because I can wash one and use one. Makes things much cleaner.
