Pyrex & Pink Daisies Midcentury cookware is fab again

A year of pandemic lockdowns has led to a surge in home cooking and time spent hanging out in the kitchen.

Vintage cookware fits right into that homey, old-fashioned vibe.

There are lustrous chili bowls with handles, and casserole dishes set on top of

brass candle warmers. These are durable dishes, often smaller than modern serving pieces, that can go from freezer to oven to table. But collectors usually acquire them for enjoyment, not utility.

The old dishes are also nice accents when decorating a room, said Atlanta-based interior designer Beth Halpern Brown.

“They can add that quick pop of color,” she said. “You can decorate a wall with them, or put one on display and change the space.”

Corning first released a Pyrex dish in 1915. By the 1930s, Anchor Hocking Glass Corp. released its competitor brand Fire-King. But it’s the kitchenware made between 1950 and 1980 that seem to be most popular right now.

Jo Adinolfi, a 62-year-old nurse from Shelton, Connecticut, collects Pyrex mixing bowls and stackable refrigerator sets, what collectors affectionately call “fridgies.” She started collecting and selling about 10 years ago and owns more than 2,000 pieces.

Shelves of vintage dishes are seen at Downstairs at Felton Antiques in Waltham.

Interest in vintage kitchenware has increased among buyers. Television and social media have also generated interest. Series like “WandaVision,” “Firefly Lane,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Mad Men” all highlight midcentury kitchens and kitchenware. (TRACEE HERBAUGH VIA AP)

In pre-pandemic days, vintage collectors would meet up at swaps. Now, people are buying and selling on eBay, Etsy, Facebook and other websites. The rarest pieces have sold for thousands of dollars, such as the 1959 “Lucky in Love” covered casserole dish that Goodwill sold for $5,994 in 2017.

The mid-20th-century glass bowls and casserole dishes from brands like Fire-King and Pyrex haven’t changed, but their prices have.

“The more people that collect, the higher the demand is, the more people are trying to source the right goods to be able to feed that request,” said Stan Savellis, 42, of Sydney, Australia, who has collected vintage kitchenware since his teenage years and runs the online store That Retro Piece.

Television and social media have also generated interest.

Series like “WandaVision,” “Firefly Lane,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Mad Men” all highlight midcentury kitchens and kitchenware.

Still, some enthusiasts simply like the vintage look and sentimentality.

“It goes with my house,” said Ashley Linder, 37, of Lake Jackson, Texas.

Linder’s vintage collection includes can openers from the 1950s, and they still work.

“Fortunately, I have the space to display most of it, though some are seasonal-use,” she said.

One of her most treasured finds was a Pyrex “Pink Daisy 045” casserole dish on eBay. It was in great condition, still in the box.

“You don’t come across a lot of pink pieces in the box,” she said.

She paid $300 for it and messaged the seller in hopes of finding out how it was so well preserved. “The lady had bought an old farmhouse in Nebraska, and it was left there,” she said. “It’s an investment.”

What of the tree’s future?

Depending on how overgrown the tree was, additional drastic cuts might be needed each year over the course of three or four years. Don’t make too many such cuts at once or you’ll shock the tree.

Watersprouts will grow near any large cuts. Remove most of them, saving one or two well placed ones to become the tree’s new lower limbs.

Go after watersprouts in summer and you won’t even need pruning shears — just grab them with your hand and rip them off with a sharp jerk downward. Train any replacement limbs just as you would a younger tree and then prune annually just as you should any apple tree.

DESIRE TO TIDY up the garden and to do something outdoors — even though not much is really happening there yet gardenwise — drives many of us out to prune now. Good. March is also a fine time for pruning from the perspective of most plants. Certain pruning questions predictably pop up this time of year.

One oft-heard question is how to deal with an overgrown, old apple tree.

Typically, such trees have suffered years of neglect. Yes, they are picturesque, but too many of their fruits are pest ridden, lacking full flavor, and out of reach.

The easiest and quickest way to start such a tree on the road back to its former glory is with one or two drastic cuts. Cut large limbs right to their origins, in one fell swoop removing a lot of wood and lowering the tree.

If a cut is large enough to warrant use of a chain saw, consider seeking professional help.

Even after one or two drastic cuts, the old tree probably is still congested with smaller

Wood types help identify furniture’s origin

URNITURE MADE IN America during its early days sometimes used expensive imported material like mahogany with hardware from Europe. But local woods, like pine, oak, walnut and cedar, iron and even paint were available and inexpensive. The use of a local wood helps identify furniture made in New Mexico, Louisiana and parts of Pennsylvania.

An early 19th-century ladderback chair from Louisiana was sold at a recent Neal auction. It was made of cypress wood, which is rot-resistant, hard and durable, has few knots, a light golden color, and, best of all, found near the furniture maker. The chair could also be dated from the shape of the stiles, rungs and its corn husk seat. Modern copies of this type of chair to be used outdoors are made of cypress because it lasts longer than other woods.

The ladderback chair sold in the auction is 32 inches high and a comfortable 17 inches deep. It sold for $427. Cypress furniture is still being used but mainly for outdoor and garden furniture.

Authentic items picturing Disney characters are made by companies that are licensed by Disney. Children’s dishes picturing Disney characters were made in Bavaria, Germany, and imported by Schumann Bros. of New York City from 1932 to 1935. Salem China Co. of Salem, Ohio, held the license beginning in 1935 and made the dishes in the U.S. They were part of the company’s Patriot Line, which was made until 1939. If they were made by Salem China Co., they will be marked “S.C. Co., Patriot China, Made in America.” Plates, bowls, mugs, and other items decorated with Disney characters have been made. Plates sell online for about $20 to $25 and mugs for $8 and up.

large root system.

But wait! Because new growth does not always reliably appear on old rhododendron stubs, you might instead want to play it safe with gradual renovation.

Cut back a few old branches each year to make sure new sprouts appear. Rhododendrons particularly reluctant to sprout from old wood are those with smooth bark.

Bare wounds left staring out from an apple tree, rhododendron bush, or any other woody plant following pruning — especially drastic pruning — may seem to be crying out now for some salve. Marketing or an innate desire for nurturing has induced humans for centuries to cover pruning wounds with dressings ranging from clay to manure to tar.

Don’t do it. Such dressings, for the most part, keep the wound moist, maintaining a hospitable environment for disease-causing microorganisms.

A good pruning cut — not a poultice — allows a woody plant to seal off the wound and prevent spread of infection. Take care how you cut and use sharp tools, and appreciate a plant’s natural ability to heal itself.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the most popular mortgage product, rose above 3% for the first time in seven months this week.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average climbed to 3.02% with an average 0.6 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.97% a week ago and 3.29% a year ago.

The 30-year fixed average, which hasn’t been above 3% since late July, has jumped more than 35 basis points since January. (A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.)

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national average mortgage rates.

It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

Because the survey is based on home purchase mortgages, rates for refinances may be higher. The price adjustment for refinance transactions that went into effect in December is adding to the cost. The adjustment, which applies to all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinances, is 0.5% of the loan amount. That works out to $1,500 on a $300,000 loan.

The 15-year fixed-rate average was unchanged at 2.34% with an average 0.7 point. It was 2.79% a year ago.

The five-year adjustable rate average dropped to 2.73% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.99% a week ago and 3.18% a year ago.
