Text from design: Vignelli exhibition label:
Heller Glass Bakeware, New York 1975.
The objective was to produce a set of glass products that could go from the oven to the table. This line has several unique features: the lids of the casseroles can also be used for baking; the handle goes all around the circumference and frames the food; and the grooved walls add sparkle to the glass and at the same time eliminate the transparency (food is prettier in plan than section).
