Our friend, Wilson, is a man on a mission for the all things Pyrex Fleur De Lis, even spurring an international road trip. As guest blogger, he has graciously shared the following with us:
“Welcome Blue Fleur 475 to my growing Pyrex family While little is known about why these exist, it’s interesting to note the differences between the blue and red fleurs- the blue has silver fleurs while the red has gold, and the blue has smaller fleurs than the red. Why? Who knows! The blue version seems to be much rarer than the red, at least at this point (all are considered rare though- less than 10 known). There is also a green version that has the same gold fleur size and placement as the red. Additionally there is a delphite fleur with the same smaller fleurs and placement as the blue, possibly a one of a kind at this point. There is conjecture that the fleur 475s were created for a special event at Manhattan’s famous 21 Club. Each 475 came with a decorated lid and a Zodiac cradle- the red and green came with a gold cradle, while the blue came with a silver cradle.”
