Zodiac is a 1961 holiday promotional Pyrex — a forest-green round casserole ringed with all twelve astrological signs in gold, topped with a clear lid decorated with a gold starburst. Sold for a single season as a gift set, it’s one of the most striking (and gold-wear-prone) promos Pyrex ever made.

What it’s worth
The forest-green casserole with its gold zodiac ring commonly sells for $50–150 depending on how much of the fired-on gold survives, and a complete set with the original trivet/candle-warmer runs $150–250 or more. Bright, unworn gold commands a real premium, and rare custom-printed variants (like club commemoratives) have reportedly sold for thousands — treat those as outliers and confirm against recent sold listings.
Collector note: Because the gold is fired over the glaze, most surviving Zodiacs show rub and fade, so clean bright-gold examples are worth noticeably more. A matching set of twelve zodiac drinking glasses was sold separately and is far scarcer than the casserole.
