      Beautiful! Can you tell us a little more about these - are they marked Pyrex on the bottom? Does it say "microwave/oven safe"?

      All it says on the bottom is Pyrex Tableware I was hoping somebody might have some more and tell me what the pattern is called, I have 4 cups and saucers. They always go down well at coffeee time in this house and sort of match my much larger melmex collection!

      Very nice, the pattern is called Coronet and is from the Coronet Range of opal glassware manufactured by James A. Jobling Ltd of Sunderland. The range was launched in 1960 / 61 and the pattern was available in either red or green. I think it was out of production by 1963 so your cups and saucers are approx. 45 years old. In 1961 the cups cost 2/9d (14p) and the saucers cost 2/- (10p).

      Just an update on this pattern. In 1954 JAJ introduced ‘Opalware’ (later known as ‘Caterware’) for the canteen trade, this was a range of thick walled white tableware for canteen rather than restaurant use and proved to be a great success. By popular demand in 1957 this opal Pyrex ware was made available for the domestic market as ‘Tableware’, lighter and more delicate than the catering version and with colour decoration.

      The first patterns offered on ‘Tableware’ were ‘Wild Bryony’, a traditional border of trailing leafage in charcoal grey, and ‘Coronet’, a staccato Contemporary design in red or green.

      I put a date on your cup and saucer of 1960 - 61 because both patterns were taken out of the catalogue in 1962, however your cup and saucer could have been made as early as 1957.
