Corning, Corelle, and Pyrex thread

[tomturbomatic]

RE: The 2.5 quart buffet server. The CW stands for Candle Warmer so there's a nice metal stand for the pan and a yellow candle in the blister pac on the card inverted in the candle well.

Does anyone collect the Buffet Serving pieces for Centura or the "saute" pans with the attached metal and plastic handles?

Does anyone collect the pieces with the ground flat bases for the Corning ranges?

Sandy, the pan you asked about is  # A-21-B-N   Size:  12 1/4 x 10 1/2 x 2 1/2

 

The small round dishes with the round tab handle, and the square luncheon plates with round handles are from the "Grab It" line of CorningWare.  

 

Tom, I have a few Centura buffet pieces in addition to stacks and stacks of the dinnerware.  Fred and I didn't get into all of that - too much digging and no energy.  We'll have to start a new thread for Corelle and Centura soon though.

 

I remembered later that I hadn't included any of the newer Pyrex storage dishes, teardrop mixing bowl and a few other odds and ends in our picture of the Pyrex.  Also not included was Fire King and Glasbake stuff.  Another table-full there too...

Thanks, Greg!

That piece is beautiful, though it has some unusual aspects to it.

It looks as if it was an early version of the later roasters, like your A 76. But that would make it a "P" series item, and it's marked A 21, making it from the same time frame as the more rounded roasters.

At any rate, thanks for the info; it's a very handsome piece and I covet one for myself when the stars align over a yard or garage sale while I'm attending it.

Please excuse the ignorance and the intrusion ...

What has WorldKitchen done with these brands?

Oddly, before I saw this post, I picked up two 16 pc sets of white classic corelle plates. I'm tired of getting my heavy plates out when I just wanna eat a lite meal or snack... I have one or two thin plates I always go to so I figured I'd just get a few extras for when those are in the wash.

Anyways... I have a Corningware SimplyLite rectangle baking dish I love to use... Am I to assume That is the Corelle Bakeware now?

I'm gonna pick on bluejay because the pics show what I'm talking about best... Pics 1-7 and 10, what material are those dishes made out of? During that time, they were made under the pyrex name, right? Is that what the current corelle bakeware would be, or what would be a comparable modern-day product?

Corelle light seems to be the closest to what is pictured, but when I click on the listings on shopworldkitchen.com to get more info, it says invalid... I am so lost..

I've been wanting to find some more of the SimplyLite bakeware but they transitioned it to Corelle... What is that milky white, almost laminated looking material in the pictures called? If I am navigating WorldKitchen properly, pyrex is showing all clear stuff.. I don't mind using stoneware, but I have enough of it... I want thin, light stuff that is durable..

The vintage Pyrex opalware (I believe that is the name) was made up through the mid 80s. As far as I know it hasn't been in production since.

It's really a shame that they stopped making it. The stuff is fantastically durable.

Corning Ware (and more)

My Corning Ware collection (with bonus of my vintage Tupperware and vintage Jenn-Air cooktop). Also some other vintage goodies from around the house.

 

[twintubdexter]

I still think these collections of Pyrex and Corning are right up there with fine china.

 

[jkbff]

They cost about as much as fine china at the thrift stores around here... I went to one, they wanted 30 bucks for a chipped pyrex baking dish with the lid...

I told one of the ladies they needed to stay off the internet because the prices they are finding are way too inflated and they are for items in perfect condition... "Well its for a good cause!" Lady, I know the owner of your store and his million dollar house he just built, I know what the cause is...

That was a way to end a crappy day LOL.

Oh to top it off, they had Royal Doulton's Porcelain Platinum Charm pattern set of 8 tea cups, saucers and cream and sugar set for $6.99 for the entire package... The set was still factory wrapped. Thats $39.00 a setting online plus the expense of the cream/sugar set!

I did snatch those up!

They are marking the wrong things up...[this post was last edited: 9/13/2014-15:47]

Those Royal Doulton tea cups, saucers and cream & sugar probably would have been far more expensive if they had hand-painted periwinkles.

 

[gansky1]

Nice collection, Brian. Those Tupperware measuring cups, did they come in a set with mixed colors or did you assemble them that way? I've seen the individual colors but never in a set like that - very cool.

 

[jkbff]

If they had the hand-painted periwinkles my vocal chords would give out......

Lord please don't ever let me talk like Hyacinth Bucket.. ever again...

Tupperware measuring cups came in sets of all one color.  My Mom has the two-tiered Kromex tidbit server.  It was a wedding shower gift in 1967.  I have a mint West Bend Penguin hot/cold server with the brown Bakelite handles that I found at an estate sale many years ago.  It has some of the original literature inside it yet.

Tupperware measuring cups

The measuring cups came right from my mom's kitchen, and she would have bought them new...or maybe got them as her hostess gift? She also used to have the measuring spoons, and I think her set may have been multicolored as well. I think she might still use those, or at least the ones that are left. Those wonderful burnt-orange canisters were hers, and I think she used them until she decided to splurge on a set of Pfaltzgraff that match her dishes. The little Sheers bowls I picked up at a tag sale when we lived in Kentucky.

The cutting boards

I should probably mention the two cutting boards... The one in good shape was left in the house when we moved in and looks like they knew it was for decoration. The other one came from my mother-in-law. God only knows how much lead paint she fed my husband growing up!

Brian,

Thanks for sharing your pics, nice variety of Corning you have.
And I love the Tupperware, one of my favorite household items.
I have the orange canisters as well as some brown ones, most of them Ive had to replace the seals with clear ones. I have those measuring cups as well as spoons in yellow.

Oh did I mention I probably own more a Tupperware than Aunt Barbara.

 

[brib68]

Tanks Sam!

I would love to have more Tupperware. A vintage set of jello molds would be particularly awesome. (Despite never having used the new set I *had* to buy a few years ago.) Sounds like you have quite the collection!

I've been meaning to post this for a while

But I finally got around to doing so. This is a very partial collection of mine, but it's mostly all my favorite pieces

I love love love the Blue Cornflower

Wheaton Ware

My latest addition: Wheaton Ware accessories like my mom had when I was a kid! I love the plastic caps for the salt and pepper shakers, and the plastic sealer-liner for the sugar bowl lid.

 

[twintubdexter]

I just thought I'd stick this Craigslist ad here. These have been advertised locally for a few days with apparently no interest. Is that really what they're called, "Cinderella" bowls? They have sort of an Early American pattern. $75 seems a little pricey.

[xraytech]

The style of bowl with the two handles that can be a pouring spout is called a "Cinderella Bowl"

The pattern on the bowls is called "Early American"
