For many years people have been collecting desirable names such as Fire King and Pyrex in glass kitchenware. However, in the last few years, a new name has crept onto the tongues of collectors: Corning Ware. The blue cornflower, the baby brother of Pyrex, has finally paid its dues and become just as desirable as its older kitchenware counterparts. The Corning book presents more than 60 patterns and chronicles the wide and colorful range of the company's efforts from the 1950s forward. * Please note, index is actually a collection of Corning Ware and Visions Advertisements.
