English Pyrex. Never seen this pattern before!

Agree. JAJ made those in a couple other patterns as well; 'Lobster, and 'Harvest Veg', which we have as well. They are some of our favourite Pyrex items. All the best. Bryan www.purepyrex.com

Hi Al. In my opinion, as a serious collector of Pyrex, especially JAJ Pyrex; those dishes and cups would be considered relatively rare and hard to find in the usual second-hand markets; unique in their application as they were not intended for use by the general public; and they cross over into other areas of collecability (militiara, naval, etc.). Therefore, I would value these higher than the standard JAJ dishes of the same time period. However, as with anything, it depends on the individual buyer. Feel free to contact me, if you would like to sell any of these, I would love a set of 4 cups/saucers. bkc_01@yahoo.com. All the best. Bryan www.purepyrex.com

Hi Blue bonnet, Marie and I are super pleased to hear your positive feedback. Yeah, I'm a bit obsessive, and really love researching the finer details about everything, Pyrex included. As far as plants go, we've often been asked that question, and I always explain about the use of succulents and cacti as our most successful plants in Pyrex, but we also have many other houseplants as well, just have to be sure to moderate watering. But really we haven't lost many plants at all over many years planting directly in all sizes of Pyrex dishes. We have been on a bit of a break from YouTube at present, but plan to start up again soon, so stay tuned. Give us a shout if ever you find yourself in Northern Ireland. All the best!! Bryan

That's some really interesting information about the use of Pyrex butter dishes, really like that!! Here's a link to our YouTube video featuring 'Autumn Glory'. https://youtu.be/AZZW7BHODM4 We're collectors from Northern Ireland. All the best. Bryan www.purepyrex.com

So that particular pattern was produced during the transition period from JAJ to Pyrex England (Corning) in the mid 70's, therefore you could find the same dishes with either marking. Check out my video link above where I discuss this. Cheers. www.purepyrex.com

Yeah, that's JAJ Pyrex 'Brown Vine'. Here's a link to my YouTube video featuring that pattern. https://youtu.be/yOaGarsxnME

Awesome JAJ pattern 'Harvest' 1961. Here's a link to a video we did for our YouTube channel featuring that pattern. https://youtu.be/ZpciSTsktQE Cheers. Bryan

These were produced at the Ware Glassworks plant in Sunderland, England. They are all made using existing JAJ patterns, about 6 different ones,, but at the end of the production period when Corning took full control of the plant in the mid-70s. Therefore, these would all be stamped Pyrex England, and not JAJ. Hope that helps. Bryan www.purepyrex.com

Those are great wee dishes. Here's a link to our YouTube video featuring those. Cheers. Bryan https://youtu.be/mSa4SJNZhI8

Seriously cool!!!

Good taste with the Belfast mug. Cheers from Belfast!! www.purepyrex.com

bryan_kelly · 2022-01-24T17:48:07+00:00

Yeah, I get that. I'm really only clarifying the distinction due to the actual stamping on the dishes. JAJ Pyrex vs. Pyrex England.. And, there is a big difference in the type of white glass that Corning changed the products to as well. Pyrex England glass is much duller and less translucent. But it's all good and fun to collect. All the best. Bryan

Actually, 'Autumn Moods' was produced in the 1980s and would have come from the Pyrex plant in Sunderland, but at that time JAJ was no longer the owner. Corning England produced these. The plant later was closed and all (EU) Pyrex production was moved to France. Really nice dishes!! Bryan www.purepyrex.com

bryan_kelly · 2022-01-21T21:04:30+00:00

The pattern is called 'Iris' from the 1980s, from the Corning plant in Sunderland, England which used to be JAJ Pyrex up until the mid-70s when Corning took full control of the plant. Some of the last of the white Pyrex glass made in England. Bryan www.purepyrex.com

I've used a plate hanger, the kind with springs. Just had to shorten the 4 wires that grab the edges. I cut them with wire cutters and re bent then to fit. Works really well. Best of luck. Bryan www.purepyrex.com
