Here’s what I could find without a picture of your set.
I believe you have a set called: “Pyrex Festiva Cobalt Blue Swirl”
It came on the scene around 2001.

I have stopped putting dh’s lunches in plasticware (he reheats in a microwave) and have found some older refrigerator dishes. Cover with that “sticky” Saran (remove before heating) and they work just as well as the cheap plastic and no worries about eating melted plastic.

I also have & use dh’s grandmother’s 4-bowl mixing bowl set (in the primary colors). I know… it sells for $60 in antique stores… but I still use it and hand-wash it.

Thank you for the history tidbit. My husband’s stepmother gave us all of their old pyrex after we lost Dad a few years ago. Apparently, I’m the only one that enjoys cooking and baking. I just took a quick peek and out of the 7 bowls I have, only one mentions “microwave”.. all the rest say “ovenware”.

When she gave the bowls to me, I wondered what I would do with all of them.. Believe me, they’ve come in handy, especially during the holidays…I’m going to be more observant when going to the thrift stores in the future….

Have recently started collecting the Pyrex four bowl sets. Look great displayed on my Hoosier cabinet. Stumbled across a round, golden globe pattern chip and dip set for $10! Would like to also find a square chip and dip set

What a great history lesson. My husband and I are really getting into cooking these days and it was fun to learn the history behind our pyrex dishware.

Anita,

The piece to the left, was a thrifted find! It was originally a flavored vinegar & oil rack, but I painted the base black & use it for flowers – and seasonal decorating.

Hi in the first photo what is the item next to the pyrex bowl. Looks like a bottle dryer that you are using for a vase? Is it for sale?

Pyrex will break, if you drop it on your tiled floor!
