Pyrex Green 'Festiva' Swirl Dinner Plate

Story

Introduced in the late 1990s, the Festiva line brought Pyrex out of the mixing bowl cabinet and directly onto the dinner table. Its swirling, organic design captured the decade's shift toward casual, colorful entertaining.

Maker / Origin

Born from industrial borosilicate glass used in railroad lanterns, Pyrex revolutionized American kitchens starting in 1915. While famous for its colorful mid-century nesting bowls, the brand continually adapted, introducing tempered soda-lime glass lines like Festiva to compete with casual contemporary dinnerware brands.

Condition & Value

The plate shows some light surface scratching and water spotting consistent with gentle use. There are no visible chips, flea bites, or cracks, which is excellent for tempered glassware of this era. Proper washing will easily restore its brilliant shine. Individual plates in the Festiva pattern typically sell in the $8 to $12 range.
