Why Pyrex Is The Most Interesting ‘Antique’ Dishware In Your Kitchen

What is the price of Pyrex? 
New Pyrex sets in the U.S. are available on retailers such as Amazon and Walmart for less than $25. According to PyrexLove, Vintage Pyrex pieces are available on auction sites such as eBay for less than $20.
Why did Pyrex sales heighten and then fall?
Pyrex was a hit when it entered the consumer market in the mid-1920s. However, after initial success, sales began to plummet due to inefficient production processes and marketing, according to CMG. Corning was able to streamline its production of Pyrex by switching from having glass blowers creating each Pyrex piece to an automated machine process that substantially lowered prices. The company also refocused its marketing efforts to more effectively target potential customers. The company improved its customer service office and set up a test kitchen where they could test and design new products with the consumer in mind. This led to more successful products and more sales.

What are the distinguishable features of Pyrex? 
Pyrex glass is durable and nonporous. It is microwave, oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer safe. The material won’t warp or absorb stains or odors. Because it doesn’t absorb stains and odors, food baked in a Pyrex dish won’t pick up flavors from previous meals. Pyrex dishes are also very easy to clean. Unlike opaque or metal cooking dishes, Pyrex cookware is see-through, so you can easily monitor the food you are cooking.
