This 1959 Pyrex promotional casserole dish, with an atomic star pattern and Cinderella handles, was used for advertising and is a vintage kitchenware find from an estate sale. Featuring a divided design and a 1 1/2 QT capacity, it measures 10 1/2" in length and 2" deep.

The dish is marked 963/063 and the lid is marked 945C 17. Its overall condition is very good, graded at a C8. To be considered a standard design, rather than a promotional one, a pattern must have been available year-round for at least two years. This promotional piece has a limited selling time of less than 2 years. Collectors and enthusiasts prize these limited promotional pieces for their rarity and unique designs, which often featured vibrant colors and patterns that stood out from the regular lines. This dish, with its atomic star pattern, is a quintessential example of mid-century modern design, reflecting the era's fascination with space-age motifs and clean, functional aesthetics.

The Cinderella handles, a signature feature of many Pyrex pieces, make it not only visually appealing but also practical for everyday use. Despite being over six decades old, the dish's excellent condition indicates it was well-preserved, perhaps cherished as both a functional item and a piece of collectible art.

For those looking to add this to their collection, it's a testament to the durability and timeless appeal of Pyrex vintage kitchenware. Whether displayed in a vintage kitchen or used for its intended purpose, this casserole dish bridges the past and present, offering a glimpse into the culinary history of the 1950s.
