60s Pyrex

Pyrex ‘Stack & See’ canisters
made in USA, c.1968

I use these canisters- with their funky 60s colours – to store my retro sewing collection. Any sort of see-through canister is great for re-use – as is stackability – a great 60s invention. These Pyrex canisters came in 4 different sizes- the largest is shown here.

You can collect the canisters in the colour-ways; green, yellow, orange, red or blue. Check the Pyrex motif is on the base- there are a few fake imitations around. They don’t make them like they used to.

Of course, you can still use the canisters in the kitchen for their original purpose: just make sure the sealing ring is intact. I have only collected canisters with the original rings, even if they are only storing buttons. Email me if you’d like to buy!

70s Pyrex glasses

Pyrex punch glasses
made in England, 1970s

Pyrex collectors and punch drinkers will swoon at this collection: ‘pop-out’ glasses in plastic cups. I’ve collected this set in greens and yellows; they also come in reds and oranges – all very 70s.

The four olive green glasses are larger than the rest, and have a rounder cut-out to the plastic cup; this is very much a mix and match set but I prefer it to all the same colour and form which is too matchy-matchy.

Perfect for the Christmas punch or indeed the retro parties of the new year, this set is for sale: $AUD75
