Title: made by Pyrex?
Post by: Margi on November 21, 2009, 10:16:42 PM: This reminds me of these clear pyrex dishes because of the handles. It is quite thick with sort of triangular yellow shapes in 4 segments. Clearly for dips. Before I go using it does anyone know who it is by please and sort of age. More wear on the top edges than underneath.
Thank you

p.s. can't speak for the French licensees marking rigour though.

I see Duralex all the time too but they do have Duralex embossed on the items, I think I have a Duralex sucrier in one of my cabinets and maybe other items too.

Post by: dirk. on November 23, 2009, 07:01:17 AM: My initial thought also. Had a quick search, but found nothing to
back up this assumption.
