Pink Daisy (Pyrex pattern)

How to read it

The Corning Museum of Glass’s Pyrex pattern library says Pink Daisy and Snowflake were the first patterned opalware Corning released with a new screen-printing process, introduced as “NEW Pyrex Decorator Casseroles”. The oval Decorator Casseroles came first, in 1956, then square Space-Saver Casseroles in 1957 and oval divided and open baking dishes in 1958. The casseroles had clear covers, sold to be used as a cover, a trivet or an extra serving dish, and the Space-Saver lids were made to stack. PYREX is a registered trademark of Corning Incorporated (see PYREX and pyrex).

White Daisy, the likely original name

Pyrex Love, a collectors’ reference, describes the design as white stylised daisies on a solid pink ground, with long petals drawn as hollow outlines round a solid white centre. It says the name Pink Daisy is the collectors’ own. On original boxes and dealer adverts the box numbers contain “WD”, which Pyrex Love reads as White Daisy, most likely the name Corning gave the pattern.
