Corning "Pyrex" Covered Refrigerator Dish, 1947-1960

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 refrigerator to oven to table. Clear Pyrex refrigerator storage dishes had been available since the mid-1920s, but in 1947 Corning began to offer them in an appealing array of colors.
