Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
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.

This is the Corning Ware Bible,
By
This review is from: Complete Guide to Corning Ware & Visions Cookware (Paperback)
Kyle Coroneos has written a lovely, informative book that I find myself using constantly. I originally purchased this large paperback just so I could identify my mother's Corning Ware pieces, in the hopes that I could fill in her pattern set (once I realized Corning Ware was no longer being made!).
Soon, I found myself purusing eBay, book in hand, wondering if I should start my own collection. Now, whenever I visit thrift or garage sales, I leapt upon the Corning Ware items I see, eager to take them home and check them against the pictures and information in the book. Then I sell them myself on eBay! This book has become my Corning Ware Bible. Not only an almost complete list of every product Corning made through the 20th century, but each item is accompanied by great photos, making it a simple task to identify pieces and match patterns and casserole sets. Furthermore, Coroneos did a through job of giving a history, not only of the Corning Works company, but also of the items made, so that you're learning all those technical, nitty gritty details about an item that adds value to it. He even bothers to translate one pattern's french words, just in case you can't be bothered to look up one online yourself. Most importantly, a section on how to clean your Corning Ware is in the back, and the book was worth the $15 just for that information alone! I've been saving many scorched pans with Coroneos' tips. Whether you are a collector or a seller of Corning Ware, if you don't have this book, you are losing out.

Corning Ware and Visions cookware,
By Bargain Hunter (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Guide to Corning Ware & Visions Cookware (Paperback)
This is a very nice starting place for review of Corning Ware pieces with lots of photos. It seems there is a lot more research to be done on this product line however. From items I have seen out there, there are many pieces that did not get covered. Includes a very nice history.The book is worth the price.
