They really do exist!

For those that have been to my house and seen my kitchen, you know that I love vintage pyrex. More specifically, turquoise pyrex to go with my 1940 turquoise kitchen. I have most of the pieces that they made in the butterprint pattern as well as the snowflake pattern and use them daily. I also have a few of the bakeware pieces and have been looking for the others. These are solid turquoise in color from the mid-1950s. I have the loaf pan, the cake pan, and the casserole dish. The hunt has been on for the pie plate, the square pan, and the rectangular pan. On our antiquing trip to Ohio and Indiana, we saw TONS of pyrex and saw these pieces in several fun colors like lime and flamingo, but not the turquoise. Brad was convinced that they do not exist.
I had seen the pie plate on ebay before, so I knew it was out there somewhere, but had never even seen a picture of the other two...until tonight! I was doing some searching online and came across a site called the Corelle Corner and they had an article about what pieces were made, when they were made, and the model numbers (which prove to be very helpful when doing searches). So it seems I am looking for the 222 and 232 pans. And to prove their existence....here is the 222 square pan and here is the 232 rectangular pan in turquoise! These ones that I found online aren't for sale, I was just excited to know they exist! So the hunt continues...
