I have puchased these over the years for my Austrian daughter-inlaw.

This one is beautiful too, but 2004 is still my favorite.

I have purchased these ornaments since 1999 for my granddaughters and they are so beautiful each year. I am so glad I found that I can get them through Amazon. The price is so much better than I had paid previously.

As always the ornament arrived in perfect condition, and makes a great addition to the collection.

Ornament was perfect, however the inside box was damaged. This is a gift, so a little disappointing.

I bought this as a gift for my friend who was coming from Australia to be godmother for my son. She collects the annual ornament every year and she absolutely loved it. I looked at it after she opened it and it was very pretty and shines like crystal should.

Comment on Pyrex 6021224 Storage 10-Piece Set, Clear with Blue Lids by D. McLean

When on discount these are a bargain for durable food storage that will not leach plasticizers into your food. But be aware that they are not watertight. Liquids will leak slowly if tipped, so these are not suitable for transporting your leftover soup to work.

I purchased some of these about two years ago. Love the idea of storing in glass, not plastic – no absorbing odors, no more red pasta sauce stains, etc. But, if you’re taking them to work, beware. The lids on mine were tight, then after a couple of washings in the dishwasher (supposed to be safe for this) they no longer fit the bowls and have a tendency to slip off.

I bought these containers for one reason…plastic containers smell. They absorb colors and odors and over time, this becomes both ugly and unpalatable. They also are prone to melting and warping, both in the microwave and in the dishwasher. Glass seemed to be a natural solution to these problems, so we bought this set.

The Pyrex containers are great for solid food. Tomato-based pastas don’t stain; garlickly foods don’t leave an awful residual smell; and since glass is a better heat conductor, they’re more optimal in the microwave than plastic. Heed the other reviewers’ warnings regarding liquid storage; the lids are probably the weakest point. For liquid, we use Nalgene containers, which never, ever leak (backpackers use them religiously).

A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry. Cooking is my form of therapy. I have owned my set of these for at least 5 years, and possibly longer. I have not broken a single piece in that time. This may not sound like much but I am hard on things, and for all of them to still be intact is a minor miracle in my home. The glass is very tough.

Pros:
1. Glass is very tough, seems almost indestructible
2. I like that they are not plastic, so I feel safe about reheating food in them
3. The lids fit well for the first 4 years or so
4. Replacement lids are available at the Corning and Revere Factory Outlet stores
5. These containers fit well into lunch bags so that you family can take your healthy home cooked food to work or school.
6. The containers stack well inside each other for space cramped kitchens
7. You can bake in these and then cool the food (I place the entire container into a roasting pan filled with ice water) put on the lid and slide the pan into the refrigerator.
8. You freeze can food in these containers

Cons:
1. The lids do stretch and warp over time, I recommend buying extra lids before you need them. My lids lasted approximately 4 years.

Overall, I would recommend these to anyone that likes to cook in quantity and doesn't like to reheat food in plastic. I use these everyday in my kitchen. Rating: 5 / 5

This has to be one of the best deals around, even at twice the price, because it replaces so many other things, and is so durable.

The containers work nicely for food storage, but they also can be used for cooking. They go from freezer to oven or microwave, and are dishwasher safe as well. Pyrex is practically unbreakable. With normal use, this set could easily last a lifetime. At the current price, they actually cost less than plastic containers, which do not have either the durability or versatility.

If all that's not enough, consider the health benefits. Glass will not leech plasticiser into your food, and there's no dioxin to worry about when microwaving.

I don't usually rave about kitchen items, but after I recieved this set, I rushed back to order another. I'm getting rid of most of the plastics in my cabinets today! Rating: 5 / 5
