Black Tulip Pyrex: A 1950s Promo Dish That Surfaces Rarely in Thrift Stores
A rare 1956–57 Pyrex Black Tulip 1.5-quart oval casserole—often with its brass-and-glass caddy—remains a coveted find for vintage-dish collectors. It’s notable as one of Pyrex’s early promotional patterns, and condition matters due to old lead paint, so scratches or cracks may require display-use only. Online lists have shown it selling for roughly $30–$100 depending on whether the lid and cradle are included; thrift-store hunts for this dish are rare but can pay off for display or resale.
