Pyrex Pink Daisy: Complete Collector’s Guide
Pyrex Pink Daisy is a charming late-1950s pattern — stylized pink daisy flowers on white glass, made in 1958. It’s less famous than the grail patterns from 1959 but meaningfully less common than the earth-tone patterns of the 1970s. Here’s what collectors need to know.
About Pink Daisy
Pink Daisy features stylized daisy flowers in pink on white glass. The design is clean and graphic, typical of late-1950s Corning aesthetics — bolder and more stylized than the folk-art patterns, but softer than the atomic-era pieces.
Production years: 1958
Colors: Pink daisy motif on white glass
Shapes made: Cinderella bowls (441–444), casseroles, refrigerator dishes
The 1958 production year makes Pink Daisy an early-era piece, positioned between the folk-art patterns of 1957 and the grail patterns of 1959. It was produced for a single year.

Design Notes
Pink Daisy’s stylized daisy motif was a deliberate departure from the more literal floral patterns of earlier Pyrex. The petals are simplified geometric shapes rather than realistic renditions — a design choice that gives the pattern a clean, modern look that holds up well visually.
The pink color is a specific warm pink — not as coral as Flamingo Pink, not as cool as some later pinks. The white glass background is bright and provides strong contrast.
Condition Notes
Pink Daisy’s pink decoration fades with dishwasher use. The daisy petal motifs are relatively simple — fading first appears as a loss of color saturation rather than detail loss.
Check:
- Color saturation of the pink petals (should be vivid, not pale)
- Edge definition of the petals (should be crisp, not fuzzy)
- Background glass clarity (cloudiness = dishwasher haze)
- Rim condition — chips are common on casserole edges
Collecting Context
Pink Daisy occupies a good middle position in the collectibility spectrum:
- More accessible in price than the 1959 grails
- More uncommon and interesting than the abundant 1970s patterns
- Appeals to pink-collecting specialists and early-era specialists alike
It’s the kind of pattern that rewards collectors who pay attention to the less-celebrated years — 1957, 1958 — rather than just chasing the famous 1959 pieces.
Finding Pink Daisy
Estate sales in regions with good mid-century inventory are the most productive source. Pink Daisy appears occasionally on eBay — use sold listings to benchmark prices before buying.
