The golden tinted transparent ovenware". The booklet lists prices and is illustrated with black and white images of the Pyrex products.

The brochure claimed that "the hard smooth surface of Pyrex cannont peel off or be affected by the food... It never flakes, crazes, rusts, discolours, absorbs odours, corrodes or burns out. You will find that it lasts a lifetime." The booklet includes a report from the 'Good Housekeeping Institute' in London that was sent to James Jobling & Co Ltd, which comments favourably on the efficiency of the design and operation of Pyrex.
