Discover which Pyrex dishes are selling for top dollar to collectors and enthusiasts.

Sometimes called "golden butterfly", this pattern was seemingly everywhere by the 80's so it's still a more common find — but that hasn't stopped resale prices from skyrocketing.

The simple yet elegant design features a large central flower flanked by a leaf, flower, and small butterfly on each side. The Pyrex pattern was launched as part of a "Compatibles" series that complemented the Corelle Dinnerware patterns and was so popular that it was later relaunched with a slightly altered pattern, featuring a bouquet.

Both the Pyrex and the dinnerware are highly collectible, fetching into the hundreds of dollars. A complete set of five mixing bowls with lids in like-new condition can sell for about $250.

This intense, darker pink color was produced between 1952 and 1957 and was used to create round casseroles, loaf pans, pie plates, cake pans, and baking dishes.

This was prior to the introduction of the Cinderella bowl style, so the mixing bowls are stackable but lack the iconic flared handles that doubled as a pouring spout. The set of four can resell for up to $375, depending on the condition and completeness of the set.

Sometimes called "Amish butterprint", this farming scene pattern is stylized as a farmer and wife around a bushel of crops. It's currently one of the trendiest patterns and was done in several colors, including turquoise, pink, and orange.

The price on this pattern ranges from about $350 all the way to $900, depending on color and completeness of the set. The turquoise Cinderella mixing bowls cost around $350, while the Orange ones are at the higher end of the stick. The Pink bowls tend to fall in between those two price points.

The Gooseberry pattern is seeing a resurgence in popularity right now, making it a highly desirable (and expensive) collectible.

It was one of the first patterns to be released on the Cinderella mixing bowls and was introduced to kick off the Opalware Pyrex line, which was made from tempered soda-lime glass instead of the borosilicate glass that kicked off the company. The pattern design features gooseberry leaves, flowers, and berries, but is sometimes called the "Grape Leaves" pattern by those unfamiliar with gooseberries.

It's most commonly found in pink, but the rarer blue set sells at a slightly higher price for about $650 to $750. The standard pink Cinderella mixing bowl set resells for about $350 to $450.

Every Pyrex collector has their own "Holy Grail" pattern, but one of the most common is the limited-release Lucky in Love, which featured spiky grass, hearts, and four-leaf clovers. The original was released in 1959 on a creamy white glass with a flat lid crafted to match the Cinderella spout handle design. These are exceedingly rare, and the last one sold on eBay for $4,000 in 2015.

The popularity of the design prompted Pyrex to re-release it in 2018. However, the new Lucky in Love was only available on clear class storage dishes without pouring spouts, and has plastic lids. These are fairly easy to find and resell for about $20 to $60. An alternate purple and teal design was also released, which tends to fetch the higher end of the price range and has a distinctly more modern feel that can appeal to younger collectors with limited funds for antiques.

Officially known as the Cinderella Serving Casserole, collectors more often refer to the single 8-point decorative star to identify this valuable Pyrex find. It was produced in 1960 and only has one piece — a 2-quart square casserole dish with a clear lid.

The predominant coloration was turquoise with a gold star. However, a color variant was created in black with a gold star. When new, it came with a metal cradle and a double candle warmer. With a lid, these casserole dishes can sell for anywhere from $500 all the way to $1,400 for a like-new quality that includes the original stand and packaging.

The vertical eye shape with a simple cross in the pupil is the oldest known Pyrex pattern. In fact, it's so old that not all of the pieces were stamped with the Pyrex mark on the bottom!

This was considered a mystery in the collector community until 2012, when the 2-bowl set turned up on eBay with original packaging that indicated it was called the Hot N' Cold Chip and Dip Set. Common speculation suggests that this is because it was originally produced for a third party.

Separately, each bowl sells for about $275 to $300, but as a complete set with the holder stand, it can go for over $800.

If you come across a pink oval casserole dish with a white stems and leaves pattern, you could be looking at adding $800 to $1,000 to your bank account.

This pattern was only released in 1962 as part of the promotional stamp program, which was like a loyalty rewards program that allowed customers to save up "stamps" from each purchase to eventually trade in for a limited-release pattern. These promo patterns often sell for more due to their rarity.

This Cinderella bowl features a bright green shade reminiscent of the Grinch and is adorned with "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" scrawled across the side in a fancy, red cursive font.

These were never manufactured for the public and instead were given to employees of the Pyrex plant in Charleroi, PA, in appreciation of service to the company for the holidays. The rarity makes these festive mixing bowls worth about $1,800 each on the resale market.

Officially, this pattern is known as "Blue Stripe casserole", but the resemblance to a barcode gave Pyrex with this pattern a more common moniker. It was originally created as a prototype, with most being made in blue. However, there were other colors made that are quite rare.

The blue on blue is more common to find and sells for up to $375 for the set. If you find one that is any color other than blue, you may be able to set the market rate because there aren't any currently available for resale.

This Space Saver shape casserole dish currently holds the record for the most expensive Pyrex ever sold on eBay, fetching an astonishing $5,793.02 (converted from Canadian currency) in May of 2025. It's believed this was released to commemorate a company event and was likely only given to Corning employees, making it extremely rare.

If you're looking to resell vintage Pyrex, the first thing you should know is that buying from eBay is usually an expensive option. The deep dive deals are usually found at estate sales, flea markets, and garage sales — which can then be flipped on eBay for a profit.

Learning to recognize the iconic shape of vintage Pyrex can let you find the hidden gems when browsing secondhand venues, and can supplement your income by reselling these pieces to people looking for their own personal "holy grail" pattern.
