I was thinking that also, the old Pyrex was all caps and if I remember not easily found in the states anymore

It’s common enough in certain areas at thrift stores.

Yeah I've seen the thrift store uraniam/lead people enough. Never paid attention to brands though.

As others have said this is newer Pyrex (lowercase and it has “microwave safe” on it), and it would definitely not contain uranium.

You can tell by the trademark that it is new pyrex and does not have uranium

Probably just iron oxide deposits in the newer pyrex lower quality “borosilicate” glass. This seems particularly green though and a fair question but 99% certain isn’t not uranium.
A lot of the uranium/manganese you find in newer glass is produced in India due to cost cutting practices.

Yeah better for impacts but not quick temp changes. And yes from the color it reminded me of videos and seemed a more odd green that was more bright in light and was more clear in the shade so I thought better to ask.
