Vintage Pyrex Visions Amber Glass Roaster

This item is a rectangle-shaped baking dish, commonly referred to as a roaster, part of the Visions cookware line by Pyrex (Corning). Manufactured from 'Vision' glass-ceramic material, the dish exhibits a transparent, amber-tinted color that is characteristic of this line, which first appeared in the late 1970s and gained significant popularity in the 1980s. The piece features integrated, slightly flared tab handles on either end, cast as part of the body for structural integrity. The construction is heavy-duty Vitro-ceramic glass, designed for thermal resistance and stovetop-to-oven versatility. Physically, the item shows a smooth, rounded rim and a polished finish. Visible condition includes original white and green retail price tags and some adhesive residue on the interior back wall, suggesting it is currently in a thrift or resale environment. Minor surface abrasions (scuff marks) consistent with stacking and kitchen use are visible along the base and interior floor. There are no apparent deep chips or thermal cracks visible in the provided image. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume mid-to-late 20th-century industrial glass production, prioritizing durability and functionality. The hallmark of this specific line is its transparent nature, allowing for visual monitoring of the cooking process.
