1976??

So I went to the antique mall today and found these pretty clear bottom beauties! The color on them remind me of neapolitan ice cream :) Lady at the counter said they were given to her as a wedding gift in 1976...Does anyone else have these bowls? I have only seen the blue ones..

  1. I have several of these types of bowls. I have the peach colored one, a black one, beige ones, and a set comprised of dark blue, red, and yellow. I'm on the lookout for a green one to complete my set, and also white ones to go with the black. I think you'll really like these!

  2. Either she is telling a bare faced lie or she didn't mean these bowls exactly. They definitely did not come out until the late 1980s.

  3. Very pretty find, I love the colors! I also didn't think they made these clear bottom bowls until after they stopped producing the milk glass patterns but I have seen very little info on them. I don't come across them very often either. Nice!

  4. Yeah I wasnt sure about her story either, but that is what she said. When do you think they where actually made?

  5. These clear bottom bowls were introduced in 1986, not 1976. I have the blue "rainbow" set. They're nice tough bowls to use!

  6. I believe they were produced into the early 90s, too, though.

  8. Oh my goodness, I looked at the clear bottoms on those and thought they looked very familiar. I have a blue set that I put on a top shelf and haven't used in years. I had completely forgotten about them. I would have bought them new, possibly late 80's or early 90's. Wonder what else I might find in my own kitchen......?

  11. Yes, they are from the late 80's. I received a set in 1989, as a wedding, gift in 1989, in primary colors ( blue, yellow, and red). They are so dependable and microwave really well. I am still using them, daily!

  12. I also meant to put in my comment that I didn't think they came out until the late 1980's or early 90's. I know they aren't nearly as vintage as some Pyrex, but I do love them, and enjoy using them.
