Thanks! So fun! Happy New Year Katie! So glad I found your channel this year :)

[@LaughCryDIY]

Aw, Devin. Thanks so much. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you have very happy holiday. (Baguette demands I spend this on treats for her.) ❤❤❤

[@gracietrevino6723]

I have abox with three green Pyrex bowls. Are they of any value

[@BendiFaguette]

Wow this was so cool. You should definitely interview more cult leaders! 👻

[@olbird7647]

I agree, cults are the way to go- we all need a hobby 😊

[@LaughCryDIY]

Hahaha. I must follow.

[@user-ed1vd8re2w]

Hi, thanks for highlighting my collection of turquoise and pink Pyrex in your video. Glad you liked it and shared it with others! Patricia

[@LaughCryDIY]

Woohoo!

[@heathersmith8549]

I own the same Tom and Jerry punch bowl with 8 tiny mugs. I’ve never seen another like it!!! So cool!!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

No way! That is so cool. I’m gonna be keeping my eyes peeled at thrift stores now.

[@kimeejae]

More Katy-style Antique Road Episodes please💕 This was fun 🎉 I grew up with the white Pyrex and blue flowers era - what does that make me?😂

[@LaughCryDIY]

It makes you part of the cult! I’m having so much fun looking at everyone’s patterns. Also guessing it’s from around the year when your mom got married?

[@kimeejae]

@@LaughCryDIY Wonder what ordinary item our kids will collect and call vintage?!?! The revolutionary and early model Swiffer🤷🏾‍♀️

[@LaughCryDIY]

@@kimeejae haha. 100%.

[@slugmaprincess]

I have always wanted to see Paige's Pyrex collection!! My collection is mostly Spring Blossom, but there's some Butterprint and Forest Fancies too. I also collect some Glasbake and Fire King because I just love vintage housewares.

[@LaughCryDIY]

You know what? I forgot my mom also has 2 pieces of forest fancies!!!!!! Those are so groovy, especially now that mushrooms are everywhere. So fun to look up all these patterns.

[@jenniferwray9929]

This was very informative and I was unaware of the Pyrex phenomenon. I’m now off to raid my elderly mother’s cupboards because I recognise a few items from your video. Excellent 👍

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh cool! I’m happy to share the history and beauty of Pyrex.

[@katiesullivan8566]

Still using two orphan pieces of pyrex I inherited from my mom. Paige is adorable. Thanks for this video!!!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

What are the color/patterns? I gotta know! I’m in the cult!

[@katiesullivan8566]

@@LaughCryDIY small dark green bowl with white daisies (don't know the name of the pattern) and a small white bowl with the two spout/handles (I didn't know they were spouts either!) with brown patterns that are kind of hard to describes. The pattern looks like it belongs on a ski sweater if that makes sense.

[@LaughCryDIY]

@@katiesullivan8566 Those sound so cute. (And I’m guessing Paige would know the patterns in an instant. Haha.)

[@LynnS53]

YES!!!!!! If Paige wants to start a pyrex cult I'm in!

[@LaughCryDIY]

She has, and I’m in too. You just have to bring her a piece you’ve thrifted 😂

[@LynnS53]

@@LaughCryDIY Paige is how I found you so I will prepare my offering 😂

[@fbz2415]

Wow!! I didn't know pyrex is so valuable!! I have one orphan (the big one of 3) blue with white daisies that somebody gave us when I got married at 1989

[@LaughCryDIY]

Ooooh! I love how we all have a piece.

[@tngirlz4622]

This was fascinating! Yes, please do more collections! I have a nesting set of Pyrex bowls that were my parents’ - white with turquoise roosters and wheat. I’m guessing they were a wedding gift, so made circa 1966, and the motif was a nod to my Mom’s farm childhood in Manitoba, Canada 🇨🇦.

[@paigewesleyable]

Sounds like Turquoise Butter Print! Definitely from the sixties and a fave motif among collectors. Not super rare, but very beloved.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Aw, that’s so cool! Pyrex was definitely the wedding gift. Wish they still made them. I would always buy them.

[@Lewisa369]

I collect vintage Dansk as well I have 2 vintage dutch oven and a modern baking dish and the navy dishware set. I also love vintage milk glass hobnailed lamps and kitchenware.

[@LaughCryDIY]

I can’t believe I never knew about Dansk before, but I’ll be keeping an eye out for it now. So cool.

[@gabriellemcmanus2650]

That was fascinating. You're a great interviewer. You should definitely do more of this kind of thing

[@LaughCryDIY]

Aw, thanks! I will definitely look for more to do. I love things like this that have more history than we realize and are everyday objects of beauty.

[@lindaroyal8161]

I loved this video - how fun and informative. Really like your friend. Yes a faux antiques road show, bring it. I have Pyrex, some newer but some were my grandmas, had no idea of the history you shared. Thanks, nicely done!

[@LaughCryDIY]

I will definitely look for more episodes to do like this. It’s fun to know the history of seemingly simple things.

[@kateaugustlim6345]

Love this show, MORE CONTENT PLS

[@LaughCryDIY]

Working on it!

[@shamikab1385]

How fun! How interesting. Prior to watching this, my position was "ok, they're bowls" 🤷🏾‍♀️. The level of knowledge and fun facts Paige has on these is on the better side of insane! I was so sucked in 😂. My grandmother had these bowls and now I'm wondering how much money I gave away 🤦🏾‍♀️.

[@LaughCryDIY]

I always thought that too! But Paige has got me fully in the cult. Do you remember what colors your grandmother’s were? I’m guessing they were probably from around the year she got married.

[@shamikab1385]

@@LaughCryDIY If I had to guess, I'm going to say the Golden Butterfly in white. I remember white bowls with that gold-colored design. She let me borrow one and she made sure as hell I gave it back!

@@shamikab1385 haha. I love how protective she was.

[@thesweet1982]

Listen to everything Paige does she’s awesome

She is great!

[@typeAmomfriend]

Ok love everything about this episode! I’m actually from the town where they made this!!! I grew up with old town blue and blue snowflake! I use my inherited Pyrex almost everyday! I’ve been in the hunt for the even older solid color pieces lately! Found a yellow one I’ll share on insta!! Great ep Katy!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh wow. You win claim-to-fame for this episode for sure. That’s so cool.

[@melaniepeters4744]

This episode was very interesting. Makes me wish I had kept the Pyrex I had at one time. I didn't know colle ting it was a thing. I learned a lot. She has a beautiful collection.

[@LaughCryDIY]

I’m gonna be desperate to find them in all thrift stores now.

[@janlint7434]

I have a crazy daisy casserole dish/bowl and a small blue heritage smallest mixing bowl that I have had forever....never knew they would/could be worth anything. How cool. thanks!

[@LaughCryDIY]

That’s so cool! Keep ‘em safe!

[@jackieclark817]

You had me at " if Pyrex is your porn " .... hahahaha 🤣😂

[@LaughCryDIY]

I mean, it’s definitely mine now.

[@sinjaja5836]

Beautiful episode. The colours are just chef's kiss!

[@LaughCryDIY]

If I walked into my kitchen and saw that wall it would cheer me up every day.

[@DigsRetro]

This episode was so fun to watch! I collect a ton of 1950s Blue Heaven pattern of Royal China dishware and also matching Fire King bakeware. It's white with turquoise and grey atomic shapes around the rim. I also have one coordinating Turquoise Pyrex big round platter plate and a couple small rectangular half loaf dishes with lids in the white Pyrex with turquoise chickens which make great baking dishes to split a meatloaf into. I have a lot of pastel Melmac as well. I pretty much use all of it daily. More vintage collections please and thank you!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Wow. I see we have another cult leader in the house!!!! So cool to look all these up. The turquoise chickens are such a kick! I will definitely look for more collections to explore!

[@kimberlybenedict]

Never knew people collected this stuff! Wow! Her collection is gorgeous! Your interview was incredible! Loved the historical aspect of it! I grew up in the white glass with blue flowers cult. 💙

[@LaughCryDIY]

What a beautiful cult to be in! It was so fun to learn all this stuff myself. And thank you for watching and commenting. Means a lot. ❤️

[@pman2916]

I found this very interesting...who would've thought lol Thanks for this video!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Right? Once I started learning about it I got sucked into the cult.

[@pman2916]

@@LaughCryDIY I can see how that could be lol..I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those now👁

I had no idea Pyrex came In All these colors and designs. You have a beautiful collection. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

I’m so jealous of her collection. It’s so pretty!

This video is so fun and informative and educational and colorful and patternful!!! Thank youuuuuuu 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@LaughCryDIY]

Yay! I hope you’re in the Pyrex cult now.

[@reneestiffler]

I just stumbled upon this video! You both are SO fun!! So I’m 36 and I started collecting Pyrex in my early 20’s. Back in the early/mid 2000’s Pyrex was CHEAP! Even the turquoise, pink, promos and HTF pieces! I had an impressively LARGE collection!! I married my husband, we tried to start a family but bc of infertility issues, we decided to adopt. SO I sold off 93% of my collection, starting around 2013. Over the course of a couple years, I ended up making 4 times the amount I paid for all the Pyrex bc it was starting to become super popular! I now look at people’s beautiful collections and swoon over them bc I used to have all those pieces! I had all the ones mentioned in this video that were wish pieces…starburst, eyes and I still have stems! HOWEVER, my two adopted children were well worth the sacrifice! And now, 10 years later, I’m in a position to start hunting again! Someday I will have an impressive collection again but I’ll enjoy the hunting and searching along the way!! ❤❤

[@LaughCryDIY]

Aw, wow. What a story and a journey. (Glad it had a happy ending for your family.) I definitely hope you can re-collect the best pieces that you want!

[@mariahjamil8259]

Hello sis. Good night from me at Malaysia. Nice to meet your Chanel here. I love brand pyrex and Tupperware too. God bless you.. 😊❤.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh yay! Pyrex is so cool.

[@uppergulliesgirl]

I have my grandmother's pyrex - the ones I love the best are the primary coloured complete mixing bowl set! My Grandmother has been dead for over 50 years, a d she had them forever so I know they are really old!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh how nice! Even better if inherited.

[@deannawoodbury2631]

I loved this episode! I collect the green Spring Blossom, and I don't know the name of it but it's orange with large daisies (absolutely gorgeous!) , and the bright yellow with large sunflower lids (also absolutely gorgeous!). I would post a photo but they are packed away at the moment because my family doesn't understand about NOT putting them in the dishwasher, LOL. Thanks so much for the Pyrex info website, and now I am going over to check out Paige's podcasts.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thank you for keeping them safe. I just googled all these patterns. I had no idea about the flower lids. Those are SO cool! Now I’m jealous.

[@christinaapplegate5281]

Loving this display! Would really enjoy seeing more collections and how real people and comedians display their little works of art. I have many collections and I’m always looking for inspiration.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Great idea! Will keep that in mind.

[@lisablack9634]

Learned a lot. Paige is a cool guest. Hope you have more of these type videos.

[@LaughCryDIY]

She’s great. I want to bring on more people!

[@maytemartinez8523]

👀 living for that Fiesta collection as well! Fellow collector here 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@LaughCryDIY]

Ooh yay!

[@asaliearthwork]

Yes more home decor and function collectors episodes. The Le Creuset folks have a similar passion and are also used as decor. This was so interesting!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Yay. This one was really fun. Can’t wait to do another one.

[@hnek]

I have a thing for melamine (Melmac)and the clicky sounds of them being stacked together. I have a melamine bowl with a lid and it’s so satisfying to listen as I put the lid back on it! I guess it’s ASMR-y?

[@LaughCryDIY]

I totally know what you mean! There are also so many cute vintage melamine dishes in adorable colors.

[@e.s.8684]

Just saw this neat video! I had planned on selling my collection ( I use to have big holiday dinners at my home and used them every time, they were my mom's) for $30. each for a set of 4-5 with lids, I think I have four sets? I have the blue flower and some others plus I have a clear glass collection with lids (a lot older not sure of the maker). I have asked my daughter if she would like some, so we shall see, I just sent her this video.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh, nice! They’re definitely collectible, so check the market prices!

[@jessiestenerson]

Fun! I grew up with Crazy Daisy 😊

[@LaughCryDIY]

A classic!

[@olbird7647]

This was weirdly interesting! Who knew! I'm officially vintage but not collectable 🤷‍♀️. KZbin seems to have blocked my main comment - not because it contained anything nefarious (of course 🤔) but because I'd tried to add a non-pyrex related link that I thought may peak La Baguette's (🐈🌟) interest about P-22, your 'local' celebrity mountain lion on today's BBC News app. See, though we're only likely to encounter a grumpy badger or mangey fox in our neck of the woods, we do like to keep up with random happenings across the world!!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Aw, that’s so sweet. We’re so sad about his passing, but it was for the best as he was in such bad shape. He was an amazing presence. The whole town of LA is sad today. But I would absolutely love to see something as exotic to me as a badger OR a fox 😭

[@lianelindsey1407]

This is such a fun video... Thank you for sharing!

[@LaughCryDIY]

Thanks for hanging. I just got my first set (Autumn Harvest), which was my mom’s.

[@nukanurse]

The Lucky in Love was sold in a private auction for an undisclosed amount of $ also every single LIL is ONE OF A KIND as not a single one will match in design as the blades, leaf clovers and hearts all meet up at different spots

[@LaughCryDIY]

Oh wow. That’s so wild!

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

My mum loved her pyrex!!

[@DreamQueenScream]

One of my besties has his nana’s black snowflake casserole dish. My boy makes Mac n Cheese in it every week 😂❤

[@LaughCryDIY]

I love that!

[@ExposingBethel]

One of the big reasons southern California is getting a big influx of Pyrex is because they are taking semi loads of stock from far northern california and bringing it south, just like they bring us your Gucci and LV and coach and labels we dont have in our area.... But Pyrex is dime a dozen around here... I can probably find 10 pieces a week for $1 each at yard sales. I guess I should start grabbing them.

[@LaughCryDIY]

Very interesting. You should definitely snatch them up. (Or I should go north and get them myself!)

[@ExposingBethel]

@@LaughCryDIY I'll start grabbing them, message me at some point later this summer and I'll let you know how big of a Uhaul to rent.

[@lornawood3260]

I loved this episode; my fave is the pink with white daisies. But, since I’m not independently wealthy, I can’t bring myself to splurge!

@@LaughCryDIY THANK YOU!!

[@kellybadea5315]

I have a few Pyrex pieces myself and love them! I only have a few so that I can think of my late mother when I’m cooking. It’s fun to collect things HOWEVER, when one does not even have a tiny spot left in their home to put their 100th piece of Pyrex it’s ridiculous IMO. We will leave this earth the same way we came-with NOTHING! Unfortunately, ALL the paint on the exterior of vintage Pyrex pieces contains a high amount of lead, which of course is a heavy metal and dangerous to our health!! Every time you touch it, it’s getting on your hands and is absorbed through your skin. Lead does not just nicely pass through your body. It settles in bone. Joint pain could be an indication that you have lead! Heavy metals disrupt the endocrine system, causing problems with hormones and even having a hard time losing weight and so on…”

[@MsRainingDays]

As an European, this is the first time I've been made aware of colourful Pyrex 😲. Ours over here are just the bare glass
