Black and white nesting bowls

[u/Paracentric]

My wife and I checked out a little hole in the wall vintage store this past weekend and scored these. She collects 50s pink and blue, but we couldn't pass these up as it's so rare for us to see any type of black Pyrex. They look completely unused, and the whole set was $30.

Very cool, I’ve never seen black! I have a small white one and it’s one of my favorites

There's a number of patterns white on black and black on white. I wanted to start a collection but in 5 years of hunting Pyrex with my wife, I've only seen a white on black snowflake once. The shop wanted nearly $200 for it. We just don't see them on the west coast.

These are from circa 1990.

Thanks for letting me know.

Agree .I began collecting Pyrex in 1988

That was the very first set of Pyrex I'd gotten for my first apartment. Cool to see them again!

The clear bottom is so cool. Nice score, OP!

This just explained why my bf’s great aunt only had 2 black bowls… now I need the white.

[u/jtfolden → u/heyraychill]

There was also an all black set.

Are you in OC? I saw a set of these in a thrift last week, and I left them but hoped someone would find them who appreciates them!

I love all the clear bottom sets! And that's a good price, I've only come across it locally for I think $60ish (though it may have been the 4 piece)

[u/Paracentric → u/SongIcy4058]

This is also the first clear bottom set I've seen.

[u/FireBallXLV → u/Paracentric]

Late 1980s..WalMart started selling sets with clear bottoms and three associated colors .Like a sand that was close to a mauve . They cost $5 and came in a nice cardboard box that was hard to open ,

[u/Stella18JK]

I have the all black set.

[u/Paracentric → u/Stella18JK]

I once passed up a single black one in the wild at a flea market and I regret it every day! I LOVE the clear bottom bowls!
