Description: Corning Ware, A-3-B , 3 quart, range-Oven- Microware, Corning NY. , USA, 478 MA - pattern known as ‘Country Cornflower’ - back stamp ( bottom of handle) is entitled ‘BLOCK STAMP’ and was used between 1979-1985/86. - this is a one owner piece with confirmed purchase in 1979. PYREX Lid, P-9C 1, 26 - Capital letters (PYREX) made from borosilicate glass - used when first began selling this product. - stopped making in late 1970’s. - described as’Opel Wear’ Fun fact: US Army commissioned Corning to make glass dishes durable enough that they could be thrown against the wall without breaking. Such Vintage and of real quality. Why is Pyrex a collectable? - increased rarity of what used to be ubiquitous. Pyrex ceased production of its colorware in the mid- 1980’s. - huge variety of styles with over 170 patterns. Why are some so expensive? - a rare ‘Lucky in Love’ Pyrex casserole dish from 1959, made of shamrocks and hearts, sold for $5,994.00 in 2017. Today’s prices varies on condition, pattern and accompaniment. As always, ‘Buyer Beware’ for quotes over the record level. Why are consumers willing to pay so much for an aesthetic? Some folks gladly pay for eclectic home wares for the same reason other folks pay for old broken muscle cars to restore. Why is yours so special? Condition: no cracks, breaks, chips, scratches , blemishes or fading color to pattern. Vintage: sole owner confirmation of purchase in 1979, supported by back stamp, PYREX borosilicate glass lid. As noted, offers will be considered. I have seen like ( but not identical) sets priced at $10,000, $3,000, $1500, $1400, $800, $150, and $58.95 (Amazon).
