The Mid Century Vault

Currently Playing: 021 CorningWare

Join pop culture historian Philip Mershon as he answers the age-old question, "What's Cookin'?" by diving into the fascinating story of CorningWare. From its accidental invention using missile technology (yes, really!) to becoming a staple in kitchens across America, this video is a tribute to the durable, non-toxic, and incredibly useful cookware. Discover the surprising history of the iconic Blue Cornflower pattern, the longest-running French White pattern, and why this vintage glassware is more than just a collectible—it's a conscious, sustainable way to cook. If you grew up with a CorningWare dish in your parents' kitchen, this one's for you!
