It has finally happened, or at least I think it has.
As I have divulged earlier, Corningware products produced in France for other markets other than the United States were sold under the name Pyroflam or Arcoflam instead of "Corningware" or "Pyroceram". (though in the early years, when manufactured in the Netherlands, they were marked "Pyrosil Ware" for U.K. consumers)
That being said, I think I have run across my very first piece of foreign made Corning/Pyroflam/Pyrosil Ware.
The shape is different than what I normally see on the U.S. Market, but the shapes sold in Europe are different than what was available here as well. It does have handles that are the same size as "P" series pieces in the United States, meaning they are narrower than the later post-1972 handles. But I don't know if (or when) foreign market Corningware made a "handle-size change"
It has a "flame" on the bottom which makes me believe it is older Pyroflam from the Asia-Pacific region, but there is no way for me to ultimately tell, since I cannot read the language. Maybe this is a piece of Anchor Hocking Cookware. (yep, Anchor Hocking had a "Corningware type" product that was pulled from the U.S. market because they lost a court battle with Corning over patent infringement)
Evidently, a well traveled piece.
Where is your Corningware??
