Pyrex Compatibles - Snowflake Blue (1972)
Snowflake Blue was introduced in 1972 to complement the Corelle pattern first launched in 1970. It has a shorter lifespan than most, being discontinued early 1976. But during that period, a lot of new items were introduced as Pyrex Compatibles, so the variety of different shapes & sizes in this pattern is reasonably large. Multi-piece sets have alternating colour schemes: white on blue, and blue on white.
 300-Series round nesting bowls: 401, 402, 403.
It is unfortunate that a popular reference book claims that Snowflake Blue Pyrex is 'probably from the late 60s'. That turns out to be false. There is no doubt that it was introduced in 1972 as an accessory for Corelle Livingware.
