I read somewhere that as long as it is the Cornflower pattern and it's true stamped Corningware, it is stovetop safe. Is that accurate? I read somewhere ELSE that pieces made in the 80s, even if Cornflower, are NOT range-safe. I'm currently too scared to try any of it on the range, but boy would it simplify things if I could.

Two are the 1961-1966, and the third is 1972-1979. Inherited stuff is the best! I also have her Griswold cast iron that was probably a wedding gift (1939-1957 based on the stamp; she was married in 1948, but didn't really buy household stuff for herself until they bought a house in 1959).Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944976538739372729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-54890259324960230762019-11-07T17:25:43.752-08:002019-11-07T17:25:43.752-08:00I concur with Shane.

My grandmother would NEVER buy a fake, it was new in box, and given where it was buried in the house, it had to be from decades before her death (she died in 2010). I finally caught it in the right light, and saw the hologram stamp. Nice to find this site and confirm its era!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944976538739372729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-67832558088404193012019-04-10T04:34:13.983-07:002019-04-10T04:34:13.983-07:00Hello Shane!

Both are embossed rather than printed, the first matches your first example with the stamp c-32, the second is the stylized snowflake with the mold number c-8. Both have interesting lids, instead of the "knob" handles like my mom had when I was growing up, both pieces have "fin" lids. Would this lid style denote any particular year they were made or was the lid style just a different option.

The items I'm most concerned about are an amazing set of Centura dishes in the "Graffia" pattern. I have some plain white that came with it that specifically say no microwave, and I've been reading that for a lot of Centura that is certainly true. But the Graffia ones do not say, and I'm having trouble dating them to figure out if they're pyroceram or not. Thank you so much, hope someone may help!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08294557430263860002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-58337852319967044732019-02-02T16:58:08.249-08:002019-02-02T16:58:08.249-08:00Great Site, I have a question about my Spice O'...Great Site, I have a question about my Spice O' Life 6 Cup Teapot.
