of clear glass for good vision while cooking – from which the brand VISIONS
likely evolved.

ROUND-Bottom
Casseroles -
PYREX
- ROUND-Bottom Casseroles -
A
totally re-designed series of ROUND Casseroles were released in the late 1940’s
to early 1950’s.
The 1950's
brought about a re-design of casserole dishes. They became smoothly rounded
- top to bottom - with rounded, full width handles. Four sizes were available –
two smaller similar casseroles were released in the 1960s which had thick tab
handles. More sizes were released.
This
series of Crystal-Clear LIDDED CASSEROLES came in a stepped series of
sizes. - Size, Casserole-MPN, Capacity; Lid-MPN - Extra-Small (Lidded
Individual Size) - 080,
8-oz; 980-C; Small - 022, 1-QT; 622-C, 682-C; Medium
- 023, 1 1/2-QT; 623-C, 683-C; Large - 024, 2-QT;
624-C, 684-C; AND Extra-Large (Roaster) – 026, 3 l, 3 QT;
687-C Roaster-Lid, 626-C, 686-C.
Over
the years - the most popular size of casserole, of any shape, was the 1 ½-QT
casserole.
Two
Lid designs were available for most of these round-bottom casseroles. The flat-topped utility style
of lid was designed to match exactly the form of the casserole
& its handles – perfectly. The other lid was round, gently-domed
with a knob-top-handle, which was flat on top allowing for perfect balance
when inverted. There was also a High-Domed Roaster-Lid available for the
largest of these casserole dishes.
PYREX
Back-Stamps -
Backstamps
- help in dating PYREX (brand format until the late 1990's) pieces. Backstamps
evolved over time, adding more manufacturer's information while
subtle changes were made in the format as well.
The
1950's brought more info – including “circled R” into the
"concentric-circle" format.
The
late 1970's – wording was now "linear - rectangular-box" format –
including metric capacities.
Lower
case “pyrex” - appeared in the late 1990's.
pyrex - Corning Inc Pyrex was trademarked as PYREX in 1908. It was made of
borosilicate glass. World
Kitchen LLC “spun-off” of Corning in 1998 and licensed the Pyrex
brand in lower case "pyrex". THIS Pyrex was made of less-costly
soda-lime glass. So, currently, Pyrex made in the US (N America) is made
of soda-lime glass but elsewhere it is made of the costlier borosilicate glass.
