BUZZ!!! Wrong!

Apparently Anchor Hocking was hoping to cash in on the popularity of Corning Ware so they put this unnamed decoration on white Fire King dishes. Collectors and dealers refer it as Blue Cornflower or Cornflower Blue but it seems Anchor Hocking never gave the decoration an official name. Adding 2 more blooms and changing the shape of the petals and leaves was just barely enough of a difference to be legal and they probably didn't want to push their luck with a name that included "blue" and "flower.
 
Funny, I was thinking of your collection as I wandered through my local Goodwill yesterday.  They had a 6 piece set  of Corning Ware in a box  for $19.99.  It was the multi colored flower design, can't recall the name at the moment.  It was the large dutch oven and 2 smaller pots, with lids.  I was tempted, but I really have enough cookware now,  I have a lot of the ground flat bottoms style from years ago when we had a Corning Ware range....

Was it the built-in Counter That Cooks or a Frigidaire Touch 'n' Cook?

 

All the new Pyroceram pieces have flat bottoms like the CookMates that came with the Counter That Cooks.
