Rainbow Stripes are opal mixing bowls made from 1965 to 1967, each wrapped in fine single-color stripes with a clean white rim. Sold as a three-bowl set in pink, sandalwood and blue — with yellow available only as open stock — they’re among the most cheerful (and increasingly collectible) Pyrex bowls.

What it’s worth
Single striped bowls run $25–60, and a complete pink/sandalwood/blue three-bowl set commonly sells for $150–300, with minty sets pushing higher. Yellow was never part of the boxed set — it was open stock only — so yellow-stripe bowls are the scarce ones, and a grouping that includes all four colors is the grail. Verify current comps, as clean striped sets vary widely.
Collector note: There is no 404 in Rainbow Stripes; the boxed set was three bowls. Yellow bowls are the sleeper — harder to find than the three “set” colors.
