DETAILED DESCRIPTION
James A. Jobling’s British Pyrex Snowflake range was launched in 1958 in the UK in a variety of colours, using an already successful Corning pattern from the USA.*
These rectangular Spacesaver Snowflake casserole dishes were produced in two depths:
Deep Oblong Casserole, ref 2162 / 541, 3.5pt capacity (L29cm/11.375” x W17cm/6.75” x D6.5cm/2.5”)
Shallow Oblong Casserole, ref 2161 / 540, 2.5pt capacity (L29cm/11.375” x W17cm/6.75” x D4.5cm/1.75”)
I am a keen collector of these dishes, as you will see from the photographs - they display and stack so beautifully, and the range of colours is so perfectly 50’s! Occasionally I have duplicates to sell, here is my current selection on offer. Do check back regularly as stock changes often. Condition is described in detail for each piece - there are occasional slight flaws which I have been scrupulous in outlining and photographing, but these dishes are still perfect for everyday use and/or display, though an amazing 70 years old! The yellow and black are particularly great for Halloween displays.
All dishes bear the JAJ Pyrex crown backstamp.
