Note that there are other manufacturers of borosilicate glass cooking items, as well. If you hit Amazon and plug in "borosilicate glass", you'll get products from a bunch of manufacturers.

I've lost so much trust with dodgy items from Amazon, I'd not be surprised if a lot of the borosilicate on there is just tempered glass.

I don’t know if the brand OXO is available to you, their glassware is he same quality as old PYREX.

Also, OXO I generally find is pretty good in terms of quality. They were started with accessibility in mind so their tools can be mostly easily used by people with arthritis.
