Many consumers are curious about a trend where young homemakers desire to use the same ceramics used for Holiday gatherings that their elders used. Just the "patterns" remind them of childhood and zooming around the food tables. Corning Ware was considered a reliable option, typically made in Corning, NY near where I grew up.
In the early 70's the "Spice of Life" pattern really took off on dining room table across the United States. The 80's Corning introduced a more beloved simplistic blue 'coneflower.' The way to know any corning item was nota China knock off was if the glass lid was stamped PYREX, Corning-Pyrex, or just Corning. The SECOND way to tell is knockoffs were stamped with ONE WORD, such as 'CorningWare' would be a fake. If you truly want Corning quality make sure it is spelled with two words and has Pyrex and/or Corning or both somewhere on the lid.
I will buy a NON-vintage accoutrement such as a Salt and Pepper Shaker or Bread Loaf pan if it matches my Spice of Life collection. So, you can ask about side items I may gift. I am an author of some 30 books such as Farmer's Almanacs. This is my first time back on eBay since I started so please be patient with me. The rules have changed hundreds of times. I may hire a specialist as not to ruin my 100 percent rating.
In the photo is a gravy/BUTTER dish I bought I couldn’t resist because it matched the set and actually looked better than the set to serve graveyard or butter. This item is FREE because it’s not an antique, that particular item was made in Japan, and there’s a slight chip under a handle that no one would notice. Still I adore that little acorn looking lid handle. I am author, MabelWhite.com and these dishes have premiered in my books.
This set includes 6 Casserole Dishes and a Short Coffee Pot ... And a tall coffee pot.
