Corelle Coordinates - Pyrex Festiva (2001) 
Amethyst, Cobalt Blue, Spring Green

Dating to 2001, Festiva is a tinted clear Pyrex product, primarily made to harmonize with multiple Corelle patterns.  The colours range from a quite deep Amethyst, to a brilliant Cobalt Blue, to a light Spring Green.  Although it is sold under the Corelle Coordinates brand, it is marked Pyrex, and it does not possess the same chip & break resistant properties as Corelle.  However, it is oven and microwave safe, like all modern soda-lime Pyrex. 

Each piece has a rimmed style with an embossed swirl design, similar to the Enhancements or Windward White shape.  But in more precise terms, the shapes and sizes do not correspond exactly with Corelle shapes; Festiva is generally thicker and larger than Corelle pieces.

Festiva was sold singly in open stock, as well as complete dinnerware sets with matching glassware.  One style of glass made for Festiva is similar to those sold with Enhancements; they are decorated near the top with a coloured ‘wiggle’ design reminiscent of the swirls on the plates.  Another style has wide and narrow bands of green, blue and purple.  There are no Festiva mugs or cups.

In Amethyst and Cobalt Blue (plus Spring Green to a lesser extent) there is a very wide selection of clear Pyrex baking pans, 024 casseroles and rimmed nesting bowls.  Strictly speaking, these Pyrex items are not known as Festiva, but they do share the same colours.  Additionally, there is a three piece bowl set which includes all three Festiva colours, and it is a clear sculptured version of the familiar 300/400 series.  This set pre-dates Festiva by at least one year.

Festiva shapes were produced originally as restaurant ware in white glass-ceramic.  It is not known for certain which glass-ceramic formula, but it is most likely Suprema.  Corning's glass-ceramic restaurant ware was branded as 'Pyroceram Tableware' regardless of which specific formula it was made.
