Pyrex Store 'N' See Containers 

On the market from 1968 to 1986, Store 'N' See containers also were identified at various times as Stack 'N' See or simply a Canister Set.  The glass is thin blown borosilicate, like laboratory ware.  Although this glass formula is famous for its heat resistance, in terms of mechanical strength it is more fragile than regular glass, and the thin-walled structure of these items increases that vulnerability.

The greatest variety of shapes and sizes was available near the beginning of this product's life cycle.

Early colour choices were Avocado, White, Yellow (seen above in a 1970 catalogue).  The Shake 'N' Pour is tall with a unique 4" diameter, and it has graduated measurements printed on the side in white.  Of the sizes shown above, the Shake 'N' Pour and the tall & narrow Liquid Container appear to be short-lived.
 
In 1970 the smallest container, 6 oz (¾ cup), became available as a salt & pepper set with perforated lids.  Dark brown lids with the Woodgrain pattern on the side were offered in 1971. 

Shown at right are the four typical canister sizes which would be made for the next 15 years.  The lids fall into two sizes: medium 4¾" diameter and wide 6¼" (with an indented handle-grip).  As well as two widths, the containers came in two heights: short 3¾" and tall 7¼". The capacities are as follows:

Short & Medium width - 1 Pint (2 cup, 16 oz)
Short & Wide width - 1 Quart (4 cup, 32 oz)
Tall & Medium width - 1½ Quart (6 cup, 48 oz)
Tall & Wide width - 2½ Quart (10 cup, 80 oz)

The short & narrow 6 oz (¾ cup) container and salt & pepper shakers would be available until the early 1980s.  This size also would be made for Salton yogurt makers in the early 1970s, and these lids were white with the Salton name embossed on the top.

Beginning mid-1970s Store 'N' Sees were offered with popular Corning Ware and Corelle patterns on the lids: Spice O' Life, Country Festival, Wildflower, Indian Summer. 

A new size was introduced in 1978, the 85 oz Pasta Keeper.  About 11 inches, it is the tallest of all the canisters and it appears to have a medium width.

In 1981 Autumn Harvest became the newest Store 'N' See pattern, but only in the four typical sizes, from 1 pt to 2½ Qt.  

Sometime between 1982 and 1985, solid-coloured canisters returned with new colours borrowed from Corelle's Dimension IV line: Almond Mocha, Cinnamon, Slate.  Almond Mocha is a darker version of Almond's tan colour.  These three choices seem to be available only in the wide sizes: 1 Qt & 2½ Qt.  Cinnamon 2½ Qt shown at right.

All types of Store 'N' See canisters were discontinued early 1986.
