Collecting vintage Pyrex can be rewarding, whether you're displaying them privately at home or hoping to resell the dishes later. As you comb through online listings, estate sales, and thrift stores hoping to score an amazing find, it's important to know how to recognize rare Pyrex dishes that could be worth a small fortune, and the factors that determine how valuable each one is. First, make sure you know how to tell if you're purchasing vintage Pyrex pieces. Genuine wares are marked on the bottom with the Pyrex name along with numbers indicating the type of dish and the volume it will hold.

You should also familiarize yourself with the most valuable shapes, patterns, and colors that were manufactured over the years. The value of each piece depends on its age and condition as well as its size, type, and design. Certain designs on certain types of dishes are worth far more than the same pattern on a different piece. Unique shapes, such as the '"UFO" SuperDeluxe Casserole, may be more sought after than others. 

Promotional designs, seasonal collections, and dishes produced for a stamp redemption program, like the Blue Dianthus Cinderella bowl set, are rarer and more sought after than those mass-produced and sold at stores. Limited-edition pieces or patterns and full sets and dishes that come with their original accessories or boxes may also fetch more when sold. If you're planning to buy (or sell) a vintage Pyrex dish, it's a good idea to look at completed auctions to get a sense of its potential high and low values. You can also keep an eye out for these 15 rare and valuable Pyrex designs you should always grab at thrift stores.
