It has been my distinct 'pleasure' taking everyone for a ride down memory lane, stopping once in a while to go back to that closet for more jewels.

That Corning pot is gorgeous! Tom and John in Maryland have quite a collection of Corning pieces and I only recently found out that Corning used to do a commemorative holiday (Christmas) piece every year that was offered to the employees and probably vendors, distributors, etc. but not available for the general public. John sent me a couple of these pieces last year and they are beautiful, I wonder if that coffee pot might have been one of those... Do you know any of the history of yours?

Corning Ware teapot
That spouted teapot with the handle is the exact pot that was pictured yesterday in my original Coffee Pot thread. Miss Manhattan was perched on the 'spout' of that teapot. Pictured below is the teapot. I also have the pot as the photo shows(in the above post) with the blue cornflower motif.
BTW...those teapots are so so heavy.......corning ware lid...very heavy to lift with boiling water inside...but a 'looker'(to coin a phrase from another post~!)

Special Plug
Both of these percolators take that 'special' Corning ware flat plug. The perk on the left is all white and has the glass see-thru lid. The perk on the right has yellow flowers and has a 'plastic' knob on top(discolored from many cycles of CAW-FEE. Notice the different signal lights too(round and square).
Oh yeah, and that perk to the very left will be featured in another thread(love that squiggle~!)

Is this what you were referring to????
These are both Corning perks...the one on the left is like the Corning that I posted in my first thread. The one on the right is BRAND NEW....YAY~!

Regular Plug Pots
These two Corning pots take a regular plug(as in the Farberware). There are 'star' designs on the top by the light. The one on the left is just metal, the one on the right has a plastic overlay.

And the pots in their glory.............
Traditional blue cornflower on the left....raised signal light over just metal....and that funny 'squiggle' pot on the right...the signal light hidden under plastic. Both take those 'regular' cords.

Interesting
I had never heard of the recall. When I bought my current house just about a year and a half ago I was real antsy about the deal concluding so I told the survivors of the elderly couple that had lived here for forty years they could leave whatever they didn't want to take. There were at least seven
of the CW Electric percolaters in one of the kitchen cabinets!

Hi Gary,
Yes!! The one on the right is the one that I just received. The only difference is that mine is in about 30 shards!!! Thanks to another careless armchair entrepreneur "eBay seller"
It was great chatting with you last night. Please keep up the great pics...I'm enjoying them!!!
I will post a pic of the coffee percolator that we spoke of and hopefully you can identify it for me

Keep the Korning
Those poor little percs, rejected by their own creator.
So who cares if they fall apart and spill hot Starbucks all over you, let's keep'em going.

No name perc
Hey Gary,
This is the percolator that I was talking with you about. There is no name or any other identification on this perc. Has anyone seen this or know anything about it. It looks very much like a Cory carafe but it is a percolator. The unit stands 1 foot tall.

That's a long pipe ya got there
OK, so tell me, a perc noob, as myself.
What's the best way to clean out a perc so it will work properly and how do you work the stove top percs? How much heat do you use? I'd like to get a glass perc and use it every now and then.

Interesting to see that recall press release. I like to use mine occasionally and will take my chances. It's a neat piece of Americana. I knew about the recall but didn't realize it was that long ago already. (!)
So long ago.......
I love my Corning Ware percolators. I think they come a close second to the coffee from the Farberwares. Both brew consitently HOT and flavorful coffee. I never think of the handle separating from my Corning Ware perks.
Pictured is a Corning ware original plug with box, and, the 6 cup electric version with a 'snowflake' motif.
