Dishware provenance checklist — ready for distribution
Key Questions
What items are covered in the expanded dishware provenance checklist?
The checklist now includes KitchenAid stand mixers, multiple Pyrex patterns like Forest Fancies and Black Tulip, Le Creuset pieces, Cathrineholm, Dansk, Fostoria, Carnival glass, and many others such as silver-plate, colored glass, and pewter. It also covers identification tips for Bakelite, milk glass, and crystal.
What safety information is provided about older Pyrex?
Pre-1970s painted Pyrex may contain lead, so test kits are recommended for verification. Chain thrifts diverting rare pieces online makes local sourcing and condition checks especially important.
