did Pyrex make a set of three smaller white bowl with the a red band which has a rooster weathervane, possibly wheat and a star/sun design on the red band? The smallest bowl holds about a cup and a half. Thanks!
Pyrex did make rooster pattern bowl, but what you are describing doesn’t sound/look like one I can recall. In fact it sounds like three different patterns that Pyrex made for mixing bowls. Wheat, Rooster and quite possibly the Amish.
I have an old S & H green stamp catalog which shows the primary color bowls with the green being the largest. NOT avacado green but the softer green we are used to seeing as the 2nd largest. Has anyone ever come across the large green bowl which is the size of the yellow large? Does it exist?
