This is a PYREX 1.5 quart flameproof glass saucepan, model 6283-U, made in the USA. The base is clearly stamped with the PYREX mark and capacity. This piece measures approximately 5 inches high, 6.25 inches in diameter at the rim, and 12 inches across to the end of the molded glass handle. The stainless steel band reinforces the neck and bears a caution: “Boil dry or use on electric range without grid will cause breakage,” indicating it was designed for stovetop use with appropriate safeguards.
This pan is part of the classic flameproof PYREX line from the mid-20th century, made from borosilicate glass to withstand direct heat. The original clear lid and handle are present and in excellent condition, making it not just a functional kitchen tool but also a beautiful piece of collectible cookware. Great for open-flame or low-to-medium heat electric stovetop use when properly equipped with a wire grid.
Ideal for collectors, vintage kitchen enthusiasts, or anyone who values durable, non-reactive glass cookware. Please review all photos before purchase.
