Calling All Detectives!

I am in need of some help from all my friends in blogland. I have acquired a piece of Pyrex that I cannot find any information on at all. I have looked at Pyrex Love , ebay and all over the web to no avail. It is driving me nuts!
Here it is.
It is a lid that goes with a divided casserole dish. It has a hot air balloon on it. I have considered that someone could have possibly took etching cream and put this balloon on themselves but I am not convinced that is the case. I know that Pyrex has a chip and dip set that had a hot air balloon motif so could it be possible that they had a promotional dish that had this lid? Hmmmm...... I wonder.
If it is genuine, I would like to know what the accompanying dish looks like.
Any info would be appreciated!

In other Pyrex news: I have three new pieces to share.

Divided Dish - $2.50

I know I need another divided dish like I need a whole in my head but I really like this pattern and I would really like to collect more of it.

 
Square baking pan - $2.98



Large lasagna pan - $3.98

I always go to the RAD thrift store. In all the times that I have been going there I have never seen this kind of Pyrex. I have seen the tired, old clear Pyrex but never any of the patterned stuff. I nearly fainted when I came upon these two pieces. This is the pattern that I am trying to collect. What are the chances? Apparently good! Haha.... It will join its brethren in the form of a medium cinderella dish and a small cinderella bowl and several pieces of Corelle.

Happy Thrifting Everyone!!!

  2. When I first got this lid, I did a post about it. Vonlipi responded and said she had never seen it before. I just thought I would post it again since I actually have followers now (What?!? I know crazy huh? LOL) to see if maybe someone somewhere might know what the heck it is. It is seriously driving me batty not knowing.
