These surprising kitchen items can be worth a small fortune – are they hiding in plain sight in your home?

If you’re hoping to fix up and make some money, look no further than your kitchen—or, rather, your grandmother’s kitchen.

Vintage kitchen appliances are nice to have around, but between Gen Z making old new again and collectors constantly on the lookout for antiques, some of these items hold more value than one might think.

And when sold to the right person, they can be worth a small fortune.

CorningWare is often passed down from generation to generation, and your mother’s vintage baking dish could be worth thousands.

The white pan made of Pyroceram material introduced in 1958 is still popular, but the rarer the design, the higher the resale price.

According to HomeBeautiful, the most valuable CorningWare designs include: Spice of Life (1972-1987), Bouquet of Flowers (1971-1975), Wildflower (1977-1984) and Country Festival (1975-1976).

A vintage CorningWare in the Spice of Life pattern will fetch $50,000 on eBay.

Cookie cutter

Everyone loves cookie cutters, and good vintage ones—especially ones of a specific shape or from a specific era—can be worth a pretty penny.

Delish noted that collectors tend to look for cookie cutters based on size, color and shape. Extra large or extra small cutters are highly coveted and darker tins are usually a sign of how old they are.

A vintage Martha Stewart cookie cutter set from Mail Noah’s Ark is listed on eBay for $895.95. According to Oprah Magazine, a “Heart in Hand” by Martha Stewart that is several decades old can sell for up to $1,500.

Cast iron pan

Cast iron pans are known for their durability, even cooking, versatility, and heat retention and distribution.

They’re a hot commodity in modern times, but old cast iron pans are highly coveted – especially those from the 19th and early 20th centuries.

According to Southern Living, an old, rare, one-of-a-kind Griswold cast iron skillet with a spider design sold in 2019 for $8,000.

Currently on eBay, the most expensive listing for a cast iron skillet is a vintage Wagner Ware Sidney O variety valued at $5,000.

Pyrex

Pyrex has been a kitchen staple for generations, dating back to the mid-20th century.

Known for its colorful and patterned glasses, some vintage Pyrex can fetch up to $3,000, according to NPR — even though they’re not even dishwasher safe.
