Recently, I pinned a picture of a collection of vintage turquoise Pyrex dishes. I loved the color, the feel, the aspect of collecting.
While I was at Goodwill yesterday, I happened upon a set of two vintage orange and white Butterprint mixing bowls. I wasn’t sure if I would keep them if I bought them, but I figured I could at least get my money back out of them if I decided not to. I researched the pattern/color after I brought them home and found that it is evidently much more rare than the turquoise color.
An auction site gave some helpful information on the set:
- Pattern: Butterprint
- Identifiers / Alternate Names: Country “Amish” Farming scene featuring farmer and wife holding a bushel of crops. Surrounding them are crops in the field, wheat sheaves tied together, roosters and corn plants.
- Turquoise on White and the reverse color scheme is the most common, with other possibilities being and orange-yellow on white and a pink on white color scheme.
- Also known as: Amish, Farmer & Wife, Buttercup, Rooster & Corn
- Years Manufactured: 1957 – ?
- Orange Butterprint patterns appear only on Cinderella Mixing Bowls.
- Unlike the Turquoise Cinderella ones, the color scheme does not alternate normal and reversed among the bowls.
- There are 4 Cinderella Mixing bowl sizes and all of them are orange on white in color. (Some people may call it yellow or yellow-gold instead of orange.)

Is that your own collection of vintage turquoise ? I have only recently discovered the beauty of vintage turquoise pyrex and would love even one small bowl. It is so beautiful and I am in awe
That is not my collection – I too admire it a great deal. If you click on the image, I have it linked to the original source (her Flickr name is *Pyrex*Pixie* – so cute!)
