1970s Vintage Glasbake “Vegetable Melody” Milk Glass Oval Casserole Dish J235 1-QT (No Lid)

Add a burst of vintage charm to your kitchen with this 1970s Glasbake 1-quart milk glass casserole dish, featuring the vibrant and bountiful “Vegetable Melody” pattern. Showcasing a garden-fresh medley of carrots, onions, tomatoes, celery, lettuce, artichoke, and more, the detailed decal runs across the front in a colorful farmhouse palette. Made in the USA, this dish is both oven and table-ready — a nostalgic nod to home-cooked meals and simpler times.

Glasbake was first introduced in 1917 by McKee Glass Company as a competitor to Pyrex, producing sturdy ovenproof glassware for American kitchens. By the 1960s–70s, Glasbake had shifted toward decorated milk glass bakeware with colorful graphic motifs to match changing kitchen trends. The “Vegetable Melody” pattern reflects the era’s love of homegrown cooking and garden-fresh aesthetics.

This pattern was a popular mid-range offering in grocery promotions and department stores during the 1970s—affordable, cheerful, and made to last. Unlike Pyrex, Glasbake pieces often have embossed logos without additional model numbers, making them especially collectible among retro glassware enthusiasts.
