Clear Bottom Beauties

Last week I picked up this set of clear-bottomed  Pyrex bowls at a tiny little antique market off the side of Broadway in Denver. (When I spotted bright colored bowls I slammed on the breaks and made a beeline for the Pyrex!)

I bought this set with a few other Pyrex dishes - I got 6 pieces for $20.
 Can anyone tell me more about the bowls with the see-through bottoms? I can't find much information on them, and for all I know they aren't vintage at all.
 But regardless of when they were made, I'm very fond of this blue set!
Until next time. 
Corning Ware dreams and Pyrex wishes!

  3. I love the blue bowls! I think all the clear bottom Pyrex bowls are from the "Design" series, and there's quite a variety of color combinations and sets. I have a couple of sets, and found a black bowl not too long ago. From what I've read, these bowls are from the late 80's and early 90's time period.

  6. I just purchased a yellow Pyrex bowl with clear bottom, and found your blog through a search to find out more about it. I guess it's newish, but still beautiful! Mine is yellow. Glad to find your blog!

  7. Are the brightly colored bowls with clear bottoms dishwasher safe?
