Pyrex Delphite Casserole with Lid!

With all the vintage Pyrex I have accumulated, would it surprise you to hear that I just recently bought my first piece off eBay this month?


You might remember that I scored the bottom dish part of the prized Delphite Casserole dish at Value Village over two years ago for a mere five bucks. I used it in my garden to help me grow garlic and for a whole bunch of other things, like as a popcorn dish.


I've been waiting patiently for an opportunity to buy the lid and finally found one well priced on eBay. I was very nervous about it arriving in one piece, but as you can see, the seller packed the box full of peanuts and used plenty of bubble wrap.


I was pretty thrilled to see that beautiful blue colour peeking through the plastic.


Look at how that gorgeous lid fits on my piece! I scored the lid for $10 and the shipping was reasonably priced as well. I have seen this set sell for around $100 on the same auction site.


I'm so glad to have reunited these pieces, and so relieved about my first eBay Pyrex Purchase success!

  1. Wow- what a good deal! Aren't some of those prices crazy? When you are looking for something specific, though, it does help to scan often and hold out for a good price. So glad your treasure got to you in one piece!

  7. What a beautiful pair -your casserole and lid! I love playing matchmaker for deserving pyrex. Ebay can be a very useful agency in such matters and your patience really paid off in waiting for the right price.

  8. I'm a major eBay lurker, but don't often make purchases... The shipping to Canada is usually a pretty good deterrent.
