The last estate i bought had 2 nesting bowls just like these.

They just called it delphite because it was popular then. Delphite is just like jadeite in that it was a certain type & color of glass, but made by different companies.mylittlestinkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074046464349987331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-88361075387060023842012-02-10T08:47:26.642-08:002012-02-10T08:47:26.642-08:00I second that those are Azurite.

And if we could list the Golden Grapes as Pyrex delphite (which most collectors do), then it's not exclusively Canadian, either.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093962932172006220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-83438953610178975422012-02-09T11:49:35.912-08:002012-02-09T11:49:35.912-08:00These look like Fire King azurite.

Search Ebay for Jeannette delphite and that will give you a feel for delphite.

The other bowls made in the US are called Bluebell (name of the pattern) and you have the bowl set (401,402,403). The fridgies were only made in Canada(yay for us) and you can even find some with blue lids. Also made in the 40's are a dish set and the iconic square bottom bowl set.<br />Check some pics here<br /><br />http://vonlipisfavorites.blogspot.com/2009/11/canadian-pyrexdelphite.htmlVonlipihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322330751381715095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6761058064933339220.post-84523323771047330982012-02-07T09:16:20.234-08:002012-02-07T09:16:20.234-08:00I meant to say "These are beautiful." - ...I meant to say "These are beautiful." - not a question.

The Pyrex 401, 402, and 403 bowls each vary slightly in color, from darker to lighter. Yours are not the correct shape or color. The shiny, pearl-like glass reminds me of some Fire King, but I don't collect that, and I'm not sure. Most Fire King is marked, I think.Feltseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813452742331153322noreply@blogger.com
