On one of my almost daily visits to the local Goodwill store, I spotted this. It is a Pyrex 0503 refrigerator bowl. Paint was pretty decent and I knew I had a lid at home to fit it, so I flashed my Golden Buckeye card and paid 97 cents for it.
I have never seen solid black Pyrex anywhere till that day. I did some internet research and checked my reference books and there was nothing about black Pyrex. I wondered if it was a 'promotional' piece. I decided to price it about the same as the other 0503's on eBay. Thirteen minutes later it was sold and paid for! One of my quicker sales.
Now I'm wonderin if that guy, yes it was a guy who bought it, got himself too good of a deal. Oh, well. I had a total of about a buck seventy five in it and got 10.95 for it.
I'm hopin the rest of the set finds it way to the shelves when I am there.
Just found the same piece at neighbors garage sale and have been on line trying to find for over an hour and came across you article...helps a little. Will now have to find a lid for it. thanks
