Vintage Pyrex All-Glass Stovetop Percolator (Flameware Type 9) — c. 1950s to 1970s

Maker / Brand:

Pyrex Flameware (USA)

Era:

c. 1950s – 1970s

Description:

A beautiful all-glass stovetop percolator from the beloved Pyrex Flameware series — one of the most iconic and enduring Pyrex designs. Originally developed in the 1940s and 50s, these all-glass coffee makers remained in production right through the early 1970s.

Designed for brewing directly over a flame (with diffuser), this later Type 9 version features the detachable metal band and original glass stem and filter basket. Everything that touches the water is glass — for a pure, clean brew without plastic or metal.

Crystal-clear body with subtle swirl moulding to the lid and base. A timeless piece for coffee lovers, slow-living kitchens, cabins or country homes, and collectors of classic Pyrex.

Measurements:

Approx. 19 cm high × 18 cm across (including handle)

Standard 6–8 cup capacity

Condition:

Excellent vintage condition — no chips or cracks. Light surface scuffing from gentle use (typical for Flameware). Fully intact percolator assembly.

Styling / Usage Notes:

• Perfect for a plastic-free kitchen

• Makes a slow, gentle brew with no metallic taste

• Beautiful as a display piece for the coffee station

• A favourite with retro campers and homesteaders

Deb’s Note:

There’s something wonderfully calming about coffee that doesn’t rush. These Pyrex percolators feel like morning ritual meets heirloom kitchenware — a quiet moment before the day begins.
