Vintage Pyrex 403 Amish Butterprint Milk Glass Bowl 2.5QT

Pyrex 403 white glass mixing/serving bowl with Amish Butterprint in turquoise. This piece is sized 2.5QT and comes with a lid that has a knob handle at the top (note: lid is not original). Butterprint was one of the first printed patterns on the opal ware Pyrex line, preceded only by Snowflake and Pink Daisy. Released in 1957 Butterprint was the result of growing market trends with its turquoise on white and white on turquoise Amish print. Promotional sets with orange and pink Butterprint on a white background and white Butterprint on a pink background were released in the late 1950s and early 1960s due to the design’s popularity. The success of this design later yielded a Bake, Serve and Store set (470) and Oven Refrigerator and Freezer set (500) in 1959 and the 480 Casserole set in 1960. In 1963 a new product line called “Turquoise” was released, which included both Butterprint and Snowflake in the white pattern on turquoise background. The same blue tint was used in both product lines. Later the “Multitone Blue” 300-series bowl set was added to the Turquoise collection. Butterprint was discontinued in 1968. Good shape with no chips, cracks, crazing, or fading. There are some utensil marks. One scratch. See photos.
