I'm getting a Maxwell House/Sanka/Yuban premium item vibe from . . .

. . . this carafe and warming trivet owned by my mother-in-law.

It's marked PYREX MADE IN USA with even cup number markings (4, 6, 8). Any info welcome.

Joe, my mother had a similar pot in the mid to late 1960's.  It did not come with a warming trivet like yours, it did have the wire "rack/trivet" that allowed use on an electric stove element.  It was a promotional sale  packed full of instant coffee. I can not recall the brand. More than likely she bought it at A&P.

 

Here is a link with some 50's and 60's  instant coffee commercials. I liked the Nescafe with "Margaret Draper"
