Just fix this one up using some diy stuff (ask dull men club guys maybe on how to)
I'm just a dull old woman but I used a ceramic paint pen to restore the lines. Once baked it's dishwasher safe.
I've never seen this happen before. What are you washing your dishes with and how are you washing them?
Happened to me twice so far, once from a set of lower-p pyrex, and once from an Anchor Hoking set. Dishwasher, top rack, normal cycle.
I got the ACCUPOUR 1 gallon measuring pitcher on amazon after being recommended it from City Steading Brewing, who was poetic about it, and I wasn't disappointed! I never thought I'd love a pitcher but I love this one.
Raised dark markings with dual scale metric and imperial, amazing handle and the spout is AMAZING! I'm able to take ½oz samples from a gallon of liquid into a shot glass no issue.
They make smaller ones too, which I haven't tried but work the same.
Can you boil water in it? I use my pyrex 2 cup to boil and cook in the microwave
I wouldn't use it for boiling water - I'd stick to glass for that
I have an anchor brand that is holding up well.
Yeah, those things don't go in the dishwasher. The things that look after you need to be looked after in return.
Either it's going in the dishwasher or its sitting on the counter for weeks or maybe months
Like you should take care of your stuff, but they should also make things durable enough to not have to be washed by hand
Since we're in the US, I saw this one from Target:
I can't speak for its sturdiness and it doesn't have 1/4 marks but with the straight sides you could eyeball it. It's soda-lime glass, so you can boil in the microwave and wash in the dishwasher.
Just an option.
I've got an IKEA one, which has been through the dishwasher for years and it keeps the writing on

Basically pyrex spun out of Corning Glass, enshitified and use soda lime glass (shit) while Corning retained PYREX which is still high quality borosilicate glassware (often with a blueish tint).
At work we have two measuring cups in the kitchen. Someone has scrubbed them with steal wool and scotch bright to the point they are useless.
