Glasbake kitchenware was first introduced in 1917 by the McKee Glass Company (based in Jeannette Pennsylvania). The kitchenware was designed to rival the popular Pyrex ovenware product line that had been created by Corning Glass Works during the time period.
The kitchenware was originally spelled “Glasbak,” and was later changed to “Glasbake,” during its release year.
During the initial half of the 20th century, housewives were gravitating toward more modernized kitchenware. These women were seeking dishware that could help cut down time spent in the kitchen. Glasbake ovenware accomplished this by providing a seamless transition from oven to table to refrigerator.
Glasbake was initially produced in 1917, and production ended in 1983.
