01

Artifact Overview

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 introduced its Daisy pattern with its bright and cheerful sunburst colors in 1968. It was discontinued five years later.
