Mid-Century Modern Pyrex and CorningWare Ceramic Coffee Mugs — 6-Piece Assorted Color Set

Mid-century modern ceramic coffee mug set featuring a mix of vintage Pyrex and CorningWare examples in classic mid-century colorways. The set includes rich red, green, and orange Pyrex mugs paired with bright yellow CorningWare mugs, all finished with contrasting white interiors and smooth glossy glazes.

Each mug features a straight-sided, stackable form with an integrated handle, a design widely used in mid-century kitchens for its practicality and clean modern aesthetic. The saturated color palette reflects the era’s embrace of bold yet earthy tones, making this set equally suited for everyday use, open shelving display, or curated tabletop styling.

Type: Coffee mugs (6-piece set)
Brand: Pyrex (red, green, orange) and CorningWare (yellow)
Style: Mid-century modern
Material: Glazed ceramic
Color: Red, green, orange (Pyrex); yellow (CorningWare); white interiors
Estimated Era: Mid-20th century
Condition: Very good vintage condition with light surface wear consistent with age and use; no visible cracks or chips

Approximate Measurements (each):
Approximately 3.5–4 inches high × 3–3.5 inches diameter (excluding handle)

Historical Note:
During the mid-20th century, Pyrex and CorningWare expanded beyond ovenware into everyday drinkware, introducing durable ceramic mugs in bold colors that aligned with modern kitchen design. Stackable forms and high-gloss glazes reflected the postwar focus on efficiency, color, and casual dining.

Value Context:
Comparable mixed-brand vintage Pyrex and CorningWare mug sets typically sell in the $90–250 range depending on color selection, condition, and completeness.
