.....that you know of!

I would guestimate it's almost impossible to NOT have seen a colored
Pyrex container in yer lifetime. They came in more shapes than bowls.
We even have an old Pyrex colored bowl set up in our lodge kitchen.
The set gets weekly use amid a kitchen full of alternatives.

Funny you should mention both, as Pyrex color-ware came in many shapes
and sizes, jes like Tupperware. Unlike todays Pyrex, which has clear
containers and colored plastic tops, the old colored Pyrex was colored
coated containers w/ heavy clear tops. The tops were also Pyrex and
rested on the top lip of each container jes like a glass saucepan lid
(no kinda seal).

I usta have some square and rectangular colored Pyrex refrigerator
storage containers (w/ Pyrex lids), but hadda divest myself of all
that stuff when I moved.
