Corning Glass Works' heat-resistant glass bakeware, called Pyrex, was introduced in the mid-1910s. Pyrex products were inexpensive, with an easy-to-clean smooth surface. Pyrex glassware could travel from freezer to oven to table. Colored Pyrex kitchenware was introduced in 1947. Corning released an array of products with its Spring Blossom Green pattern in 1972. The company redesigned the pattern several years later before it was discontinued.
