| In 1967, three oval casseroles in solid shades of orange and yellow were sold individually as Town and Country companion items. Boxes were branded as Town and Country but these items lack the Town and Country hex pattern and were only sold in larger volume stores. Items available included the divided dish (063) in light yellow, the 1 1/2 Qt. oval casserole (043) in yellow, and the 2 1/2 Qt. oval casserole (045) in orange. Both the divided dish (063) and 2 1/2 Qt. oval casserole (045) are similar in color to many other opal Pyrex items in the same size. This makes it difficult to find a genuine Town and Country solid-color casserole unless you find one in the box. |  1967 Dealer Catalog showing solid-colored Town and Country items. |
However, the 1 1/2 Qt. oval casserole (043) in yellow is an exception. This was the only 043 manufactured in solid yellow throughout all years of opal Pyrex production. If you happen to find a yellow 043 casserole, rest assured it's a great find and a genuine Town and Country solid-colored casserole.
