Once upon a time, in a faraway land...

{HISTORY}

In the early 1970s, artist John Phillip Johnson designed a set of bowls for Pyrex, to inject some new energy into the popular glass company. He called his design Butterfly Gold - a reference to both the imagery (butterflies and flowers) and the color (a pale shade of butternut squash). The unique shape for the mixing bowls was a break from the traditional round rim. John Phillip Johnson's bowls had pour spout handles that served two functions - an easy way to pick up the bowl and an even easier way to pour batter or other liquidy items from the bowl. This new shape was called Cinderella - a magical nod towards the Disney character who was popular on stage and screen at the time.

This pattern was made by Pyrex from 1972-1981 and came in nesting bowl sets of contrasting colors - two bowls in bright gold with white imagery and two bowls in white with gold imagery. This bowl is the largest one of the set with the ability to hold four quarts.

A gorgeous addition to the Autumn kitchen, this bowl carries all the color of the season. Whether you are whipping up a spice cake, storing your apples or inviting some fall color into your kitchen display, this bowl is up for a bevy of tasks. Just like Cinderella herself, she's a worker and a beauty.

{CONDITION}

In lovely vintage condition. This bowl was well taken care of and retains its bright color. There is one hairline scratch that measures 1" inch in length on one side above one of the flowers. There is also a small very light 1/4" inch rub mark on that same side near the butterfly. Please see photos. There are also a couple of smaller, very light, random, barely noticeable scratch marks (none longer than 1/2" inch).  The nice thing about vintage Pyrex is that once you fill the bowl up with something you don't see any of these errant marks since it is the light coming from inside the bowl that makes them more noticeable.
