Pyrex Compatibles - Snowflake Blue (1972)

This line of Pyrex was introduced in 1972 to complement the Corelle pattern first launched in 1970.  There is just one version of this design since the pattern was discontinued in early 1976.  The good news is that during those few years many new shapes and sizes of Pyrex Compatibles were produced.  So actually, the variety of different pieces is relatively plentiful for such a short lifespan.  Practically the only thing missing from this range is the '1979 update'.  The colour scheme of the complete sets alternates between white on blue and blue on white.

300 Series Round Nesting Bowls, marked 401, 402, 403.

It is quite unfortunate that a popular reference book claims that Snowflake Blue Pyrex is 'probably from the late 60s'.  That turns out to be false.  It was introduced in 1972 to complement to the very popular Corelle dinnerware.
