The Pyrex Colonial Mist pattern came in two styles. Blue background with white flowers or white background with blue flowers.

Crazy Daisy

Remember the 1970s when avocado was the "in" color! This pattern is found on bowls, refrigerator sets, casseroles, etc. It is similar to Spring Blossom but the flowers are much smaller. This pattern is often referred to as Spring Blossoms because that is the name that the identical Corelle pattern was given.
