History
History
This style was developed for telephone carrier circuits using small steel pins. Initially Corning Pyrex glass was used and later many companies produced this style.
Corning-Pyrex insulators were manufactured by the Corning Glass Works in Corning, New York, from 1924 through 1951.
Initial consideration to use glass as an insulator material by Corning is dated as far back as 1913 according to existing records. Pyrex glass was developed in 1915 by Corning and was used for cookware, bakeware, and laboratory glass products. Pyrex is a heat-shock resistant borosilicate glass of 80% silica, 4% alkali, 2% alumina, and 13% boric acid. Trademark Pyrex was registered July 10, 1915, issued July 13, 1917, and patented May 27, 1919, #1,304,623. Corning used Pyrex glass for all of their production of communication, power, and radio insulators.
The permanent characteristics of the glass sold under the Pyrex trademark met the insulation requirements for high voltage transmission.

Vintage Industrial
The creative reuse of old vintage glass insulators as lamps puts these old design icons back in the hands of people, out of dark basements and attics. The beauty of the industrial design pieces is their versatility – you can treat them as feature piece or liberally use them throughout any contemporary space.
