Vintage Pyrex Turquoise Refrigerator Dish with Lid

The item is a vintage Pyrex refrigerator dish, likely a 0502 (1.5 pint) or larger size, characterized by its rectangular, slightly tapered shape and iconic solid turquoise or teal color on the exterior. The dish features an opaque, ovenware-grade glass body that is light turquoise on the outside, and appears to be white or a very light pastel on the interior when viewed through the opening. It comes with a clear, transparent glass lid that fits snugly onto the rim of the dish. The lid has a flat top surface with six raised, parallel ridges running lengthwise across it, which adds a decorative and functional element, potentially for stacking or grip. The corners of both the dish and the lid are rounded, giving it a soft, yet classic profile. Visible condition issues include some minor paint loss or flaking on the exterior rim of the turquoise dish, revealing the white base glass underneath. This is a common sign of use and age for Pyrex painted items. There are no immediately apparent chips or cracks on the glass body or lid from the provided image, indicating a relatively good state of preservation for its age. This style of refrigerator dish was a popular item produced by Pyrex, especially during the mid-20th century, likely dating from the 1950s or 1960s based on the color and design aesthetic, which is typical of the 'Gooseberry' or 'Turquoise' Pyrex lines. Its durable construction and timeless design made it a staple in many kitchens.
