3 RARE & EARLY BLUE WHEAT CORNING WARE / PYROCERAM PYREX LID; BAKING COOK STOVE
Item History & Price
Item Description: Here's something you don't find everyday but when you live near Corning, NY where these were made back in the day you do run across some interesting history. I was asked to help clean out an attic where a lot of Corning had been stored since the early 1970's. This listing is for 3 pieces of RARE EARLY BLUE WHEAT CORNING WARE; marked PYROCERAM and an unmarked PYREX. The white dishes, known as Corning Ware, has CORNING - PYROCERAM TM - MADE IN USA - mark ...on the bottoms with no other marks; ie; size, model, etc. They are early pieces and have manufacturing flaws, they would not have made it through inspection and to market with the chill mark on the cover/pie dish/baking dish of the small flaw on the rim of the bowl (see photos)! My theory is these were test pieces manufactured and taken home by employees to use and report back on functionality, performance, like/dislike, etc. In the 1960's Corning had the Brown Wheat pattern to compete with Lenox and Hocking's Fire King but that was discontinued for many reasons and this BLUE WHEAT was a step to Corning's iconic Cornflower Blue pattern. It's the same blue color but in Wheat pattern. Please view all the pictures and if you need more pictures or have any questions just contact me. My items are stored in a smoke free and pet friendly home.
