Lots of glass Pyrex storage containers but ...

Go to ikea and get the silicone lids. They stretch to fit. Easy peasy.

History is well researched with clear factual citations at Wikipedia, much beter quality citations than is usual.

Changed to soda lime over a period in the 1980s-2007 for clear glass products, which is what is being discussed here.

Are these PYREX or pyrex?

Older PYREX is VERY desirable and commands premium prices from those who want it.

Yes. Not made the same anymore. Can say that of so many products we grew up with.

Very true.

Hang on to the good stuff. Original old Corning Ware with the glass lids (white opaque bowls with the flowers and the clear glass lids) are HIGHLY desirable cookware when you can find it at sales and antique stores.

It's one of the healthiest and best cookware ever made for cooking, no plastics or harmful materials in it, and lasts generations, always cleans up easily with baking soda. If you find it, get it at whatever price. Often found at garage sales and flea markets for little of nothing.

Changed clear glass Pyrex products starting in the 1940s. It is well documented that it happened before the Corelle spin-out.

From your link. "Beginning in the 1980s, production of clear Pyrex glass products manufactured in the USA by Corning was also shifted to tempered soda–lime glass, like their popular opal bakeware.[25]"

It's full of lead. You might want to avoid it.

Try the thrift stores. I had some extra lids and just dropped them at Goodwill.

Get authentic lids online. I’ve tried the knockoffs and they often don’t fit.

Incorrect.

Clear PYREX has no lead in the manufacture of the glass. You are confusing it with the milk glasses (opaque). Are you the same poster who confused the mfg process earlier about the dates? If so, you really should work on reading comprehension.

Those are also notorious for being high in lead.

high in lead.

If you live withing 1 mile of a major highway, or within 1/4 mile of a smaller road over 40 years old, then you are already ingesting more lead than someone who eats from the most leaded crockpots that ever existed.

Most people don't realize how much lead was put into the atmosphere and soil/water from 1920s to 1990s from leaded gasoline. Most forms of lead are not readily bio-available, and uptake is negligent, but tetraethyl was bio-organic and not locked in place.

Never heard of those. Looks like what one would expect an little old white lady to collect on a shelf though. Rabbit hole to check out, but guessing they aren't valuable if you gave them away.
