PYREX Restaurantware Model Numbers

Many opal PYREX collectors are familiar with the model numbering system used on kitchenware and bakeware. Mixing bowls, Cinderella bowls and many casserole sets used the 400-series numbering system. These sets were actively marketed to the public through Corning Glass Works’ Consumer Products Division, so a lot of information is available to collectors both online and in print. 

Emerald Band (Green) Restaurantware (1953-1978).

However, opal PYREX Restaurantware / Tableware is a bit more of a mystery. Advertising for these items was limited to foodservice establishments and not much documentation remains. Recently, Jeffery Tevyaw, an avid restaurantware collector, graciously shared some research compiled from original documentation at the The Corning Archives.
