I remember Grandma had a lot of Pyrex (and Corningware, too!) in the brown sets (remember when they came out with all the blue/brown/'berry' sets mid-80s? She got the brown set, and the pot set to go with it, too, and already had several clear pieces), so like I said below, now that I've been reminded about them, I'll do some price comparison between those sets you showed me, and the Corningware stuff. :) I remember cleaning the glass was easy (especially if you were using Dawn soap or a similar product), and it was also easy to see if you'd missed a spot. *g* Much thanks!
