I was given a set of the green and flower ones when I got married in 1973. A friend of mine gave me a set of stainless steel bowls about 10 years ago and so my daughter asked for my Pyrex bowls and I gave them to her. She was living with a group of friends at the time. When she moved out she left the set with them. Oh well, they were only dishes. But when she asked to have the antique bedroom set (which has been in the family since 1859) I said not until she buys her own home. Don't want her to walk out on it.
