My Beautiful Butterprint

Hello Friends, 


I want to show off my little collection of Pyrex Butterprint. Sometimes referred to as Amish, Farmer & Wife or Rooster & Corn. The pattern emerged in the late 1950s, and has become a heavily sought after pattern for Pyrex collectors alike. 


This weekend my Mister and I visited an antique market about 40 minutes from our home. We were immediately overwhelmed with the shear expanse of the area. However, despite being overwhelmed, we took on the area stall by stall. I had asked my him to look out for Pyrex Butterprint or any Dansk Kobenstyle pots and pans. We were luck on both accounts, but the Dansk will have to wait for a later post. 


I had found my very first Butterprint Cinderella mixing bowl already for a reasonable price, but then I was able to talk the seller down a few more dollars. Even better. 


She was a beaut! In perfect condition with not a chip or crack or faded pattern to be found. I was so elated, and the seller was such a wonderful woman, helping us talk down another booth holder for one of his Kobenstyle plans. 

My other Butterprint products were found at local garage sales and the community antique market. The piece from the garage sale (the large fridgie with the upside-down pattern) did have a fairly faded pattern. My guess is the owner put that bad boy in the dishwasher, a definite no-no for Pyrex products. But I could not refuse the Pyrex, especially at 50 cents. 


The other small fridgies and the butter dish were purchased at the community antique market. The pattern is in way better condition, I'm so lucky to call these mine!


I'm going to be keeping my eye out for more Butterprint, especially looking for the unique colours like pink, yellow and orange.

Happy scavenging!
