Explore and Shop Vintage US-Made Glassware Show at Dearborn Center; Nov. 7 & 8

Dearborn, Mich. That mid-Century modern, retro decorating-look is the hottest trend, with hipsters filling their kitchens with trendy colors of the 1950s and space-age patterns of the 1960s, which can all be found on a variety of Pyrex and other vintage glassware. Vintage Pyrex is stealing the show for many collectors, and will be center stage at the Michigan Depression Glass Society's (MDGS) show and sale, Nov. 7 & 8 in Dearborn, Mich. The first 200 attendees each day will receive a complimentary Pyrex-inspired gift. Celebrating its 100th anniversary and still as popular as ever, Pyrex was introduced by Corning Glass Works in Corning, New York in 1915 as a special glassware resistant to extreme temperature changes and ideal for baking, serving and storing food all in the same dish. Author Michael D. Barber has written two collector books on Pyrex, and will be a featured guest at the MDGS show in November. With prices for the most sought-after pieces selling for thousands of dollars, Barber will share a few pieces of Pyrex from his collection, which will be included in a display presented by the MDGS. Attendees will find vintage Pyrex products for sale, in a rainbow of colors and patterns, as well as tens-of-thousands of other glass items, ideal for trendsetting decorating and entertaining. Another well-known, popular glass line, Fostoria American will also be featured at the show. It was introduced in 1915 by the Fostoria Glass Co. of Ohio and produced until 1986. "American is one of Fostoria’s best-known patterns," says Jonathan Fuhrman, president of the MDGS. "Its long production period resulted in hundreds of serving pieces, dinnerware, barware, stemware and vases, all highly sought-after for today’s stylish entertaining." Twenty-five glass dealers from across the country will be at the event and only glass manufactured in the United States from the early 1900s-1960s will offered for sale. The MDGS show and sale takes place Sat., Nov. 7 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sun., Nov. 8 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (ET) at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, 15801 Michigan Ave. (US 12) at Greenfield Rd., in Dearborn, Mich.
