Pyrex Compatibles - Colonial Mist (1983), White Lace (1988)

Colonial Mist Pyrex was introduced late 1983 to complement the Corelle pattern launched earlier that year.  It appeared at a time when the variety of opal Pyrex items had been significantly diminished, and the full range encompasses only nesting bowl sets and 470/480 casseroles.  No Tabletop Ware items were produced either.  Most Pyrex opal ware products were discontinued during 1986, and Colonial Mist was among them.

Multi-piece sets have alternating colour schemes: white on blue, and blue on white.  White-bodied Colonial Mist items are not just plain opal glass printed with a pattern, there is an all-over white colour applied to the exterior, giving a more solidly opaque appearance.

401 round nesting bowl, 443 Cinderella bowl.

Contradicting the usual colour scheme are round 400-series nesting bowls all in blue instead of alternating blue and white.  This bowl shape was available for individual sale as well as in boxed sets of three or four.  All four sizes sold singly were offered in blue only, while boxed sets included blue 401s & 403s, and white 402s & 404s.  Open-stock bowls were available throughout the pattern's lifetime.

-White Lace-   

Mid 1988, this design took on a new life and a new name with clear Pyrex rimmed nesting bowls.  Although it is absolutely identical to Colonial Mist, it is officially called White Lace when found on clear glass.  The bowls were available in sets of three and four, and individually too.  Corelle Coordinates glassware in White Lace appeared in 1994, long after Colonial Mist Corelle had been discontinued.
