Vision Corning Amber Glass Casserole Saucier Pan Appraisal

Vision Corning Amber Glass Casserole Saucier Pan

This item is a vintage Vision Corning (Visions) casserole or saucier pan, identifiable by its iconic transparent amber-colored pyro-ceramic glass material. The piece features a stout, rounded body with integrated, molded side handles for secure lifting. The glass is specifically a glass-ceramic material known for its high thermal shock resistance, allowing it to move from stove-top or oven directly to the refrigerator. Physically, the amber tint is consistently saturated throughout the body. The interior base shows a textured, ringed pattern which is a characteristic manufacturing detail of the Visions line to aid in heat distribution and prevent food sticking. In terms of condition, the glass appears to be in good used condition with a clear luster, though typical light surface scratches from utilitarian use and utensil contact are visible on the bottom surface. There are no obvious chips, deep cracks, or major fractures visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship is reflective of mid-to-late 20th-century industrial cookware production, specifically popular during the 1980s and 1990s. The handles are thick and flow seamlessly from the rim, indicating a single-mold construction typical of Corning’s high-quality standards for this line produced in France or the USA.
