Op Shop Finds: Can You Help Me with This Phoenix Dish?

Posted on the 14 October 2013 by Thismumrocks @thismumrocksnz

Curiosity got the better of me when I spied this yellow dish in the charity shop.

Maybe it’s the colour. I’m always attracted to bright bits & bobs in a thrift store.

I bet whoever owned this previously was a very social extrovert.

 A “Hostess with the Mostest!”

Phoenix: can anyone tell me where I would find info on this company? l must be using the wrong search words

Maybe I’m searching with the wrong terminology, but am not finding much info on “Phoenix”.  Should I be searching glassware, bakeware, ovenware, Pyrex? Agee?

Any tips on researching this type of kitchen ware?

 I’d love to know how old this is.  I’m picking it’s of Aussie descent.

Already put to use for this week’s roast dinner

Kitchen goods I needed to thrift this week:

Kitchen thrifted zip hand blender measuring cups white, cleaners caddy

Essentials: is killing me I had to thrift a set of measuring cups. I have like 4 sets packed away :)

When I packed our worldly goods away, I kept out most of the basics I like to have in a functioning kitchen.  But after a month, there are some things that just make cooking dinner easier. Like an apron…

Finally, an apron in the kitchen!

The fact that it will add to my collection is a bonus!

Little golden book Pollyanna, Norman Bridwell Clifford the big Red Dog

2 of my primary school faves for the 2yr old

Not really sure how “Glad” I am to have brought Pollyanna and Clifford the Big Red Dog into the house.  They have been read literally like 50 times in the past week.

and, umm *cough* I blew my weekly thrifting budget by three bucks. ($13)

I’d love you to share your thrifting research strategies or your op shopping experiences in the comments below.  I’m all about sharing the knowledge, but if you’re an Op Shopping Ninja who thrives on a stealth mission, I get & respect that too!
