Debbie is our Pyrex Queen and is presently working her way through a backlog of Pyrex, Fireking Acropal and mikglass ovenware to fill up this section in our shop. Even if you are not a collector everyone needs a new dish or two with Christmas ahead. We will have a lot of new stock soon but there are already some really nice Pyrex dishes in store. #pyrex #vintageovenware #christmasgift #christmaslunch #redoily #kentorchard #junerose #brairwood #moderne #jaj #agee #milkglass #midcenturymodern #etsysellerofinstagram #weloveourfollowers #etsysistersshop #weloveourclients

Where was your Vintage Pyrex made?

We have recently been discussing our love for vintage Pyrex ™ on the Google Plus Vintage and Antiques community. Besides our love for this versatile and iconic glassware, I was actually more intrigued by its manufacturing history.  Just exactly where was your pre-1998 vintage Pyrex made?

Well, if you are on the American continent, Pyrex is always described as an American classic and it is highly likely to have been manufactured at the Corning Glass Works factory in New York. However, Corning didn’t make all vintage Pyrex in the US. In fact, Corning licensed Pyrex manufacturing at many different factories around the globe. Even the brand names and some of the patterns are different, such as, Corningware (USA) and Pyroflam (Europe).  Some are US only patterns including ‘Butterprint,’ better known as ‘Amish,’ which I love!

US Pyrex Butterprint or ‘Amish’

How did this borosilicate glass, originally designed in 1909 and used as railway signal lamp glass due to its low thermal expansion properties, become so popular? The fact that it could withstand sudden temperature differences made it an ideal choice for laboratory glass and kitchen ware. From the very first sale in 1915 of a 25cm (10″) flan dish for $0.65, at the James Marsh department store in Boston, US, it was obvious that Pyrex was here to stay!

With the arrival of the opal patterned Pyrex, the kitchen market exploded, unlike your Pyrex. But is that an urban myth? I can attest that as a student I managed to, unwittingly, make my Pyrex casserole dish explode whilst baking potatoes in an electric oven!

Patterns and Manufacturers

United Kingdom

J.A. Joblings started making Pyrex in Sunderland, UK, in 1922. They had heard about the success of the new glassware, Pyrex, in the U.S. As producers of glass in the UK, they quickly saw the potential of this new type of glass, (by this stage Pyrex kitchen ware sales had exceeded $1 million). They succeeded in obtaining a licence to manufacture and sell to the, then, large British Empire in 1922.

Joblings changed name several times in its history but were responsible for producing millions of UK made Pyrex products. At its height, it employed over 3000 people! Sadly, the factory closed in 2007 and manufacturing moved to France.

A few of the Pyrex patterns unique to Joblings include Matchmaker, Autumn Glory and Chelsea:-

Australia And New Zealand

In 1926, Pyrex licensed manufacturing to Crown Crystal Glass (owned by parent company ACI Glass). It wasn’t until the 1960s that the Australian company commenced production of opal Pyrex. Before then they imported it from the UK. Australian Pyrex is often called ‘Agee’ (Australian Glass).

Some bespoke Australian designs are from their Festive Ware range and include, Flannel Flowers and Golden Pine:-

Crown Crystal Glass also opened a subsidiary company in Christchurch, New Zealand in the 1960s. A pattern best associated with the New Zealand company is Gumnut Blossom.

  Vintage Pyrex popularity continues to boom and rightly so! As with most ‘accidental’ inventions this one proved a winner for domestic gods/goddesses and laboratory workers the world over!

Agee Pyrex - Bazaar (also known as Turquoise Blossoms) 1960s

Agee Pyrexware is Australian Pyrex. The name comes from the initials of “Australian Glass.” It was first made in Australia in 1931 by the Australian Glass Manufacturers’ Company. Agee Pyrex were all clear until the 1960s when the opal line was introduced from the UK.

Livestrong Yellow Vintage Pyrex on Flickr.

Via Flickr: It was mid afternoon on a very gray and rainy Sunday when I finished the display, but it looked like it was 8pm outside, so no shooting with natural light, no taking the doggie to the park. The colour theme is Dennis' favourite, seeing that it's his birthday in a few weeks. The top shelves include my Butterfly Gold painting, and Agee Pyrex Flannel Flowers in yellow. The bananas on the cabinet on the right are sitting in a large oval chicken casserole in brown. It didn't include the domed lid when I rescued it from the op shop. The lower shelves include freshly baked flourless peanut butter cookies in vintage yellow starburst Tupperware. There's also a the Aussie/ UK version of the Cracker Barrel --- the Biscuit Barrel :-)

How cute is a pink kitchen? I’ve recently been made aware of an Agee Crown Pyrex pattern called ‘Pink Sunflower’. It seems I’m not the first to dream of a pink kitchen. This dish will be published in our Etsy shop this weekend. #inthepink #pinkkitchen #pinksunflower #pyrex #ageecrownpyrex #jessabellasonetsy #etsyvintage #etsyhomewares #vintagepyrex
