Autumn Harvest Bowl Appraisal

Vintage Pyrex Autumn Harvest Mixing/Serving Bowl

This is a mid-sized circular mixing or serving bowl, likely part of a nesting set, made of opal glass (white tempered glass) with a fired-on exterior color and pattern. The background is a light cream or off-white color. The primary decorative feature is the 'Autumn Harvest' pattern, which consists of stylized wheat stalks and leafy floral motifs in a warm color palette of rust orange, mustard yellow, and chocolate brown. This specific pattern was produced by Corning Glass Works under the Pyrex brand between 1979 and 1986. The bowl’s construction is thick and durable, characteristic of American-made kitchenware from that era. Regarding condition, there is visible wear along the upper rim, manifesting as dark scuffing or loss of the cream-toned finish. This type of wear is common from 'stacking' bowls in storage or agitation from metal utensils. The graphic appears relatively intact with bright colors, though there are minor surface scratches consistent with age and use. The interior likely exhibits light utensil marks typical for functional kitchenalia. There are no large chips or cracks visible in this view, though the rim wear is significant enough to note for valuation purposes.
