Delphite..the name alone makes Pyrex collectors swoon!
I know I get weak in the knees whenever I see some....
Not a lot is know about these pieces made in Canada. I believe there was a plant in Ontario established in 1945.
They manufactured the complete pie crust dish set. A bowl set, a refrigerator set. Of the refrigerator set I have only seen the small and the medium ones. Never seen the large one-does it exist?
The pieces don't have the same feel, thickness. I must admit that even if I use all my pieces 
I'm a bit more scared to drop them than the other Pyrex...I don't know why
I'm a bit more scared to drop them than the other Pyrex...I don't know whyIn the first pic you can see the vegetable bowl, 4 salad bowls, the casserole and the square bottom bowl.
Here's a close up of the elusive square bottom bowl...I have seen it at really crazy prices on ebay. I got a real good deal on it from a Pyrex acquaintance...
Even if the pieces are more plentiful than in the U.S. they are quite rare nonetheless....and cheap rare still!

That blue is stunning indeed. I was not aware of Delphite, thanks for introducing it to me.
Oh....a mystery! Love it! This color is so pretty!!!!! Did they make a lot of this? Was this made like the jadite was made in the US???? I learn more neat things on Vintage Thingie Thursdays!
Those are beautiful!
I don't think I've ever seen them. I'll keep an eye out now!

I have never seen Pyrex like this. A very enjoyable post and shared information I was not aware of. Thanks, and you did very well.
Ohhhhh.....I need these! What a beautiful color!
I can see why you swoon, it is so pretty. I have never heard of it or seen it.
I don't think I've ever seen any of these before, but boy are they lovely! What a gorgeous color, and I particularly like the ones with the scalloped edges. I would be scared of dropping them too. So scared that I probably wouldn't even use them!
Happy VTT!

Great colour. I'll keep an eye out, particularly the elusive square bottomed one!
I am not familiar with Delphite. Thanks for educating me. I learn more new things reading the VTT posts.
Have a great weekend.

Oh. My. This is beautiful...I just love the color. I have never seen this before, or I am sure I would have a piece or two. Great post...now I have something new too look for! Have a great VTT!
Wow, I've never seen that. I've never even seen it at the local retail place that I've seen everything. And that says something. WOW...fab-u!
They're a beautiful colour, you are the undisputed Queen of Pyrex!
I was going to make a witty comment on the vintage ads, but then I saw this blue. OMWord, I'm speechless.
Thanks everybody for all the wonderful comments!
