About Town With Corningware - The Third Time is the Charm?

This is a compilation post.... I have been to several thrift stores to track all these down simply because Corning released multiple versions of the same design under the same name from 1969-1975.

This is Floral Bouquet or at least the ORIGINAL Floral bouquet.  (made as a Limited Edition Gift Line in 1969)

 
Complete with subtle linen background in yellow.

This is Floral Bouquet version 2. (the design was changed for general release in 1970)

With solid yellow background and blue accents.

and THIS is Floral Bouquet version 3.  (the final version and most common, released in 1971)

I do not know why the original design was re-tooled so many times.  Maybe it was more cost effective to reduce the coverage area of the design.

Where is your Corningware??
