Average Customer Ratings:
Corning Ware and Visions were the most versatile forms of dishes and cookware ever made. Created from the durable Pyroceram material originally used on the nosecones of rockets, they are the only dishes that can be used in the oven, in the freezer, on the range top, or in the microwave. Now that the Pyroceram material is no longer being produced, a huge secondary market has erupted for these beautiful and durable dishes. This book chronicles the 40+ years of Corning Ware and the 15 years of Visions. Compiled directly from information in the Corning Glass Works archives, this complete and unabridged guide covers the 60+ patterns, hundreds of shapes, and thousands of specific dishes of Corning Ware and Visions made since 1956. The book includes hundreds of detailed pictures, as well as specific information about each piece, including production dates, rarity, current value, and other interesting information. This guide includes the history of Corning Ware, Visions, and the Corning Glass Works, as well as facts about how Corning Ware and Visions were invented, manufactured, and sold to the public. Many historical photographs and advertisements are provided. This book is essential for any kitchen or glassware collector, dealer, trader, or appraiser, or for anybody else who appreciates this beautiful and adaptable cookware.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Missing Modernism -
This book is a good reference for collectors of Corning Ware in general, but one major thing was missing: Centura! This book is about cookware, but the Centura line included both cookware and dinnerware. Besides the All White Buffet Servers, Centura is the line most often sought by midcentury modernism collectors.
The best thing about this book is the advertising ephemera, - so fun!
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Corning Ware & Visions Cookware -
The book is wonderful. I just started collecting Blue corn flower cookware and some visions it has wonder pictures and prices.It gives you the prices what they are worth.I would recommend the book to any one. It is a must have book.
Not enough detail... -
I bought this book to help me get smart on vintage corningware. I've been on a search to relive my childhood by collecting Corning from the 50's that I remember my mother using in the kitchen. The book does do a good job chronological detailing but is inconsistant helping you distingush vintage from new stuff. Some lines the author provides great detail other lines has little or none. Bottom line after reading you be unable to tell if you piece is vintage or not.
Corning Ware and Visions cookware -
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.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
This is the Corning Ware Bible -
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.
