All white with gold band nesting mixing bowl set.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had information on this four bowl nesting set. I cannot find anyone who has seen this before. Bowls have the sequential size numbers 401-4. Here are photos. Thanks ! Lisa

This set of bowls and some other similarly decorated opal glass bakeware were marketed as an adjunct to Corning Crown dinnerware in 1958 and for a couple of years thereafter. (Not to be confused with Australian Crown Corning Pyrex.) It is rarely seen likely due to its having been marketed via a door-to-door sales program. The dinnerware itself was made of opal Pyrex, and was offered in both gold and silver rimmed versions. The bakeware included, besides the 400 bowl set, an 024 round casserole with an opal 684 utility lid, a 221 round cake pan, a 222 square pan, a 232 rectangular utility pan, and 909 & 210 pie plates, all opal glass and with a gold band trim.
