Pyrex Compatibles -
Colonial Mist circa 1983

Colonial Mist Pyrex was introduced late 1983 to complement the Corelle pattern launched earlier that year.  It appeared at a time when the variety of opal Pyrex items had been significantly diminished, and the full range encompasses only nesting bowl sets and 470/480 casseroles.

No Tabletop Ware items were produced either.

Most Pyrex opal ware products were discontinued during 1986, and Colonial Mist was among them.

Multi-piece sets have alternating color schemes: white on blue, and blue on white.

White-bodied Colonial Mist items are not just plain opal glass printed with a pattern, there is an all-over white color applied to the exterior, giving a more solidly opaque appearance.

Contradicting the usual color scheme are round 400-series nesting bowls all in blue instead of alternating blue and white.

This bowl shape was available individually in open stock as well as in boxed sets of three or four.

All four sizes sold singly were offered in blue only, while boxed sets included blue 401s & 403s, and white 402s & 404s.

Open-stock bowls were available throughout the pattern's lifetime.
