Golden Acorn is a 1959–1963 promotional pattern from Pyrex’s “Golden Touch” era — gold oak leaves and acorns trailing along a cream-ivory body. It appeared on casseroles and serving pieces rather than mixing bowls, and clean, un-rubbed gold is the key to its value.

What it’s worth
A common Golden Acorn casserole with its lid usually sells for $20–45, with divided and Space Saver pieces $25–55 and a fuller multi-piece grouping $80–150. The uncommon round casseroles (473/474/475) appear to have been market-test pieces and are the pattern’s sleeper grails — check recent eBay sold listings before pricing one.
Collector note: Because the gold is fired over the glaze, heavily rubbed examples lose value fast; bright, complete gold is what collectors pay for.
