Kyle ~ call me Barbara, please!!! Many decorated lids like you are holding are from the late 1960s-1970s. Some of the decorations actually have names, and some do not. Because I am piled higher than I wish to be in revision paperwork, files, images, etc., I will pass in trying to dig through to see if this design had a name. It certain at least had a number.

That is just to show you, I would have to dig it out to get a better picture and clean it up a bit first as well lol

Mrs. Mauzy, first off. I must admit I am a little star struck since I am actually holding your book on depression glass right now trying to find a pain in the butt pattern. Second I have a piece of Pyrex, but it's less then optimal condition. The pattern is rubbing off.

FYI ~ I have been spending nearly every waking hour over the past week on revisions for the 5th edition of my PYREX book. Look for great additions courtesy of Jeff Tevyaw and the Corning Archives. I am adding two new chapters and tons, yes tons, of new information.

Andrew ~ there is an historian at the Corning Glass Works in NY ~ you should be able to Google this info. If you can't find it, I have it in Maine and can get it to you in a few weeks. Kristine Gables is her name and she should be able to assist you. B

Thank you for the reply Barbara. My twin sister bought it in either Scranton P.A. or Elmira / Corning N.Y. area. I bought a good amount of her Pyrex. This piece she had sold to a mutual friend. I had missed the piece by like 20 minutes. The girl knew I also collected promo pieces and she asked me if I'd like to buy it for the same price she paid for it. So, I jumped on it. She didn't have any Pyrex that it matched.

My Uncle had worked for Corning Glass for over 50 years -both his kids over 35. Neither of them have any ideas on it either. The only guess I have is it is a prototype Space Saver that was never made. I have combed the net for hundreds of hours looking for ANY info on it ....no luck.

I live in St. Petersburg Fl - I think I will have to write to Corning or take it up when I visit the area this year. Hopefully , they could tell me who designed a lot of the art back in that time period and I can find out info on it?

Andrew ~ this is an amazing piece that I have never seen before! Thanks for sharing. I can offer no info, but I bet the group would love to know where you found it. THANKS!! Barbara

Here is apicture of a Spacesaver I'm trying to find more info on. What year did the switch to wooden handles? It might help narrow it down for me ...Anyone?
