Authenticity Indicators
Raised 'PYREX' logo visible on the glass side and bottom; 'PYREX' and size information embossed on the plastic lid. High confidence level.
Flaws to Note
Possible light surface scratches from metal whisks or spoons; potential for the lid to have slight warping or micro-cracks at the edges; red paint can flake if previously washed in high-heat dishwashers.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for a local quick sale; eBay or Mercari for a wider audience. Shipping can be expensive due to weight, so local is often better for profit margins.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Lid Included' in the title. Take a photo looking directly at the measurement lines to show they aren't faded. Use keywords like 'Replacement Bowl,' 'Food Prep,' and 'Measuring Bowl.' If selling online, calculating shipping by weight is essential as this item is heavy.
