My Corning Ware “Grab It” bowls have Pyrex lids. The word “PYREX” is molded on the lid rims. Many uses, and they’re an ideal choice for baking scalloped potatoes for one or two persons. I bought these bowls decades ago.

They came with polyethylene lids too for keeping left-overs in the fridge.

My grandmother went to the care facility within months of my wife and I setting up our first home. My dad was getting her home rented and offered all her cookware to us so all came from her. Theb a decade later we split up my other grandmothers cooking items among the grandkids on that side. Still use all of it daily. All OG vintage PYREX and stainless steel cooking instruments marked Stainless-Japan. Some has to be 60-70 years old still seeing service daily. My cousin uses the cast iron from my grandmother daily.
Just this last week my wife’s mother gave her a pale yellow PYREX bowl that was her wife’s grandmothers.

Is PYREX still made and sold? I can’t find it being sold.

Yes/No the stuff sold now is not the original. You can tell by the color, the original is clear/slightly yellow. Current product is blueish and as mentioned by others not capitalized.

So no more original all caps products. Only crappy lower case products sold new now. I guess just be on the lookout on CL and flea markets or garage sales.
