“Matchmaker” Pyrex, 1970s
Pyrex was first produced in America in 1915. In 1922, JA Jobling started producing Pyrex under licence in Sunderland, using the Pyrex crown logo, but with "JAJ" in place of "Pyrex". In 1973, JAJ reverted to American Corning ownership, but the factory closed down in 2007.
This design is known as Matchmaker.
The Matchmaker pattern was introduced in 1964 in two colour patterns, blue and green, and red and orange. This is part of a dinner set bought in a charity shop. Many of the pieces have never been used, still having the original Pyrex guarantee stickers on them. These stickers have no post code on the address; postcodes were finally in place in the whole country by 1974, their roll out having started in Norwich in 1965. I think the guarantee is no longer valid!
