vintage Corning Pyrex "Oven Ware" loaf pan (Model 212)

​This is a remarkable opportunity to own a piece of glass history. Up for consideration is a vintage Corning Pyrex Oven Ware loaf pan (Model 212), which remains in pristine, New Old Stock condition, complete with its incredibly fragile original paper marketing label intact.   ​Historical Significance & Authenticity   ​The Rare Label: The survival of this orange shield paper label—meant to be removed during the very first use—is exceptionally rare. It serves as definitive proof that this piece has never seen a dishwasher or an oven.   ​UV Verification: This piece exhibits a distinct orange fluorescence under 365nm UV light, a hallmark of early-period borosilicate glass chemistry.   ​Manufacturing Details: The piece features clear, crisp 212 and E-AA factory mold markings, along with authentic cooling striae (straw marks), providing ironclad evidence of its early 20th-century production.   ​Dimensions: 10 handle-to-handle, 4.75 wide, and 2.5 deep.   ​Collector’s Note: This item is strictly for display purposes. Any attempt to wash or bake with the item will result in the immediate loss of the original paper label.
