1965 Pyrex Pumpkin Butterprint Cinderella Bowls Command Premium Prices

A 1965 Pyrex pattern known as Pumpkin Butterprint, also called Amish Butterprint, has become a sought-after item in the vintage dish market. Produced in limited promotional sets of four, these orange-on-white or turquoise Cinderella bowls feature harvest-themed illustrations and can sell for hundreds of dollars online. Collectors are advised to watch thrift stores for these items, as the Cinderella shape was discontinued in the early 1980s, making any surviving examples likely authentic vintage pieces.
