Corning Ware is not Corningware Pyrocream. Pyrocream is the type that was made to go from the freezer to the oven without shattering.
There was a detailed thread about pyrocream a ways back. I will look for it.
But then why is the post 1972 Pyroceram marked with an A? As mine is? that's kind of confusing.Your item number has an A prefix. It is not pyroceram. You want a P prefix on the item number.

Heating with a torch and tossing a bunch of cold water in it, is not really the test i want to perform.

Thanks. I think for what i've used it for it works great. The A 1 1/2 B seems to be what i have.Searching for this POST 1972 Pyroceram with A-Series.
This is what I found, there are many A-series Pyroceram. This is the "Pyroceram list".
For this newer A-series was a size change:

Hello. I've bought this dish for 50 cents today at a flee-market. I was very pleased to be able to read 'corning ware' in the light once we got outside! But I wanted to know if i can rely on these markings if it is the real deal. The bottom is smooth.

Perfect and mine I was worried about because I recently purchased an A-2-B and it held up to some serious temps for many hours.Thanks. I think for what i've used it for it works great. The A 1 1/2 B seems to be what i have.
