Rare & Collectible 1960s Pyrex
This is a beautiful vintage Pyrex 3-quart mixing bowl (#479-B) in the sought-after Federal Eagle pattern. Introduced in 1967 as part of the limited-edition "Hearth Group" line, this pattern was only produced for a very short window until 1968, making it a rare find for serious collectors.
The bowl features a distinctive, large brownish-red/gold bald eagle emblem with a shield and "E Pluribus Unum" banner on both sides. The design is accented by a decorative gold geometric "ribbon" band that circles the rim.
