Originally … more Offered is a classic piece of many Mid 20th Century American homes - the Pyrex #404 Yellow Mixing Bowl. Originally sold as part of the Primary Colors Nesting Bowl Set, and the Bright Yellow Set, the pieces produced as of 1950 had their identifying model numbers and were sold in sets or individually. We hope the images do it justice, it appears more lemon yellow in some, and more butter yellow in others - all images taken in natural daylight. While absolutely oven safe and perfect for kitchen use, many people use these as decorative bowls. Below is a bit of Pyrex history.

    Measures 10.5" diameter, 4.5"tall, 4 Quart capacity

    - A collaboration between Corning Glass Works and the United States Government resulted in Pyrex opal ware.
    - Proclaimed as the “World’s most famous mixing bowl set,” the Primary Colors set was the first of the Pyrex items produced on white opal ware with colored overlay. The set included four mixing bowls, which came in yellow, green, red and blue.
    - The new Pyrex opal ware line was a result of a collaboration between Corning Glass Works and the United States government to create a sturdy, lightweight and unbreakable dish for soldiers during World War II.
    - A 1946 Ladies’ Home Journal advertisement touted the new opal ware bowls as “2 ½ times as strong as ordinary bowls,” “Heat resistant for oven use,” and used “For mixing, baking, serving and storing.”
    - As the earliest set released by Pyrex opal ware the new “Color Bowl Set” did not have standard model numbers such as 401, 402, 403 and 404 as we have come to know them today, but they are standard bowl sizes. Originally released with a more defined foot the bottom of the bowls was redesigned in 1950, creating the version of Pyrex opal ware bowls with which we are now familiar. Also, the Upper-Case PYREX logo identifies this as the collection produced in the 1950s, with borosilicate composition, which was known to be more shatter resistant than tempered glass when dealing with extreme temperature changes, such as freezer to oven. less
