The Decades Our Shoppers Love Most (and Why Grandma's Kitchen Is Having a Moment) 🌸

If you've ever walked into our booth, picked up a casserole dish and said "my grandma had this one!", you're in very good company. Walking into one of our booths is a walk down memory lane, and our sales say the same thing. When we looked back at everything Marissa's Home has sold since January 2025, the answer was clear: the pieces that go home with you are mostly from the 1950s through the 1980s. Grandma's kitchen, in other words.

Every piece has a story. Here's what our sales say about the stories you love most.

What did our shoppers actually buy?

We looked at all 559 pieces Marissa's Home sold from January 2025 through mid-October 2026, across our booths, our shows and online. We dated each one from its listing or the years its pattern was made, and set aside anything we couldn't date with confidence. That left 229 pieces with a clear decade:

The 1970s and '80s sold the most pieces. The 1950s and '60s brought in the most sales. Together, those four decades made up nearly 9 out of every 10 dollars our dated pieces sold for.

And yes, it's Pyrex. Vintage Pyrex was about a quarter of everything we sold, and about half of our sales.

Which Pyrex patterns flew off our shelves?

The patterns that sold most often were the cheerful ones you remember from somebody's kitchen counter:

• Spring Blossom, the green "Crazy Daisy" pattern from the 1970s, plus its matching pieces
• Butterfly Gold, the 1970s gold-on-white pattern that seemed to be in every kitchen
• Pink Gooseberry and Butterprint, the 1950s and '60s favorites
• Turquoise Snowflake, from the same era
• Early American, the brown-and-gold 1960s pattern

Butterfly Gold and Spring Blossom were the most common sales. Pink Gooseberry and Butterprint sold less often, but those sets were the bigger purchases, and we had fewer of them, because they're harder to find in the condition every piece at Marissa's Home has to meet.

Why are the '50s through the '80s so popular right now?

Because that's the kitchen most of us remember. The mixing bowls our moms used for cookie dough and the casserole dish that showed up at every church supper are the pieces people look for first.

It isn't only nostalgia, either. Researchers who studied young vintage shoppers found the biggest reason they buy is wanting something nobody else has, and that they would rather shop in person at markets and stores than online (SDA Bocconi, January 2026 (opens in a new tab)). That's the treasure hunt, and it's exactly why we love seeing you in the aisles.

Is it vintage or antique?

Here's the quick answer. In the U.S., an antique is generally 100 years old or more; U.S. Customs uses that line for antiques (19 CFR § 10.53 (opens in a new tab)). Most dealers call pieces 20 to 99 years old vintage.

So nearly everything you'll find in our booths is vintage. Our oldest pieces, like Depression glass from the 1930s, are getting close to antique age, and every new year moves a few more pieces over that 100-year line.
