Visions Amber Glass Round Casserole Dish (0.8L or 1.5L size)
Pyrex / Corning / Visions · Kitchenware > Cookware
Era / Decade
1980s-1990s; specifically, this style was peak production during the 1980s based on the 'Amber' tint and tab-handle design.
Material
Calexium (beta-spodumene) glass-ceramic; transparent, thermal shock resistant tinted glass which is stovetop, oven, and microwave safe.
Condition
Good/Very Good. The glass shows moderate surface scratching (scuffing) in the bottom of the well from utensil use. No visible chips or cracks on the rim or handles.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a consistent niche market for vintage 80s kitchenware and 'Grandmacore' decor, but the market is saturated with individual bowls lacking lids.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 - $25.00 (Individual pieces are lower value; full sets with lids reach the higher range)
Estimated Retail Value
$25.00 - $35.00 (comparable modern heat-resistant glass cookware equivalents)
Comparable Sales
Individual bowls without lids typically sell for $10-$15 plus shipping on eBay; complete sets with lids fetch $25-$45 depending on specific size and rarity.

Selling Guide

eBay (best for vintage kitchen nuts), Etsy (if marketed as 'Vintage 80s Decor'), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping costs and breakage risks).
Selling Tips
Always use 'stovetop safe' in keywords. Highlight that it is PTFE/PFOA free. Since the lid is missing, suggest using it as a serving bowl or fruit bowl. Use a back-lit photo to show the clarity of the amber glass.
