Most likely produced by a third party like Georges Briard, with Corning's only input being the manufacture of the undecorated pan and lid.

Looked up Georges Briard thank you this may be a possibility. But i'm still not sure the flame on the sides and top is in the glass not painted on. and the pattern with circles and squares could be etched not sure. i don't have enough knowledge on this. By the way thank you so much for your help.

215 is the model number. B means bowl or base. C means cover. Since each shape needs a unique model number, it was a simple way to indicate the cover fit the dish, using the same number on both, but with the letter to differentiate the individual pieces. A-6 is the mold identifier, meaning the piece was pressed in that unique molding apparatus.
