Bluebelle — marketed in Canada as “Delphite” — isn’t a printed pattern but a soft blue-tinted opal glass used across several early-1960s Pyrex pieces. Because it’s a color line rather than a decoration, collectors chase it by form, and one bowl in particular makes a complete set famously hard to finish.

What it’s worth
Bluebelle pieces generally run $30–80 apiece, with the divided oval dish around $40–80 and a nesting bowl set (401–403) commonly $100–200. The large 404 bowl is extremely rare and commands a big premium — so few exist that many collectors never complete the nesting set. Values are thin-market, so check recent sold comps.
Collector note: Hold a piece to the light — Bluebelle is a tinted glass body, not white glass with blue paint. Canadian pieces are often known as Delphite.
