Pyrex was founded in 1908 in Corning, NY. Corning Glass Works started making Nonex, a thermally resistant "non-expansion glass," for railroad signal lanterns and other industrial applications. It was clear glass at first, and once it was discovered to be useful in the kitchen because of its durability and resistance to high temperatures, and because it didn't change the taste of food or retain smells, it was marketed for domestic use. By 1915 Corning was selling Pyrex pie plates, casserole dishes, and bakeware, originally made from borosilicate glass, to the housewives of America. The opaque pieces didn't start until 1936, when Corning bought a glass factory in Charleroi, PA, which could produce colorful opal glass with the same properties as the clear glass being made in NY. Corning released the iconic primary-colored Pyrex nesting bowls in 1945, and offered its first patterned opalware gift set in 1953, when the Heinz Baking Dish was sold in grocery stores. Widespread distribution of promotional patterns followed the overwhelming success of the 1956 release of seasonal "decorator casseroles," and Corning produced more than 150 different patterns of bowls, casseroles, refrigerator dishes, and more. After 1998 they switched from borosilicate glass to tempered glass. It is a well known fact that most people keep their Pyrex for a lifetime and even pass it down to the next generation.
