Thrify Thursday: Granite ware coffee pot

Happy Thrifty Thursday, friends. Pictured above are two great finds. The vintage granite ware coffee pot is blue speckled, and shows some rust from many years of use. The hinged lid still opens. The coffee pot is approx. 8 1/2" tall, and was only $6.00 at an antiques store in a nearby town. 'Something about granite ware that I just love. Beneath the coffee pot is another vintage item: a black cast iron trivet.
'Learned that this trivet's style is rooted in Pennsylvania and that the design is called, "Dumb Dutch". The two brooms, two hearts, and pair of birds are characteristics of the design. This trivet has been in our family for many years. 'Was not able to find out more about the origin of that name, "Dumb Dutch". Do any of you know any history about that?

~Old Pyrex bowls~

Recently, I read Christina of Pendleton Primitives' post about the old Pyrex bowls that she found. Hers are so pretty, that it reminded me of my mother having a lot of these. Mother says this is what happens when you are, "nearly a hundred years old", lol! You find that you have collected quite a few items over the years, don't you? The photo above shows seven of her old Pyrex bowls with glass lids, and two Corning bowls with glass lids. Check out the retro colors and floral designs, some with chickens and little farmers. Aren't they cute? They date from the 1950's through the 1970's. She actually has many more. Mother also has some very old cast iron skillets that she still cooks cornbread in. Thanks, Christina for the inspiration. Do you all have any old Pyrex cooking items?
