About Town With Corningware - Oh, Rose Marie, I Love You

Actually, the pattern name is Rosemarie, all one word... But the Slim Whitman song keeps going through my head, so I had to use it in the title, to make it go away.  LOL

Rosemarie was available from 1995-1998....   The point in time when Corning was releasing pattern after pattern in order to boost sales.  It's fairly rare, though not as rare as some other patterns that were only produced for 1 year.   It almost looks like tulips, but I think it's stylized Rosemary.... Thus the name. 

True, the rosemary we normally see has blue flowers.....

but there are several pink Rosemary varieties... Rosmarinus officinalis 'Roseus"

and Pendent Rosemary

and Majorca Rosemary

What do you think?

Where is your Corningware??

About Town With Corningware - Shell Oil and Macrame

Shell Oil Macrame promotional pieces, never sold in stores.

They were available to Shell Oil Gas Credit Card customers between 1971 and 1973 as a promo on the return envelope flap of their monthly bill.  This puts it around the same time as the oil crisis caused by the OAPEC embargo. This special promotional pattern spans the change in the shape of Corning Ware.  As a consequence, there are P models as well as A models in this design.

It came in Blue (Blue Macrame - Boxes are marked MB)

And Avocado Green (Green Macrame)

Though the Avocado version is sometimes referred to as "Avocado Medallion", that particular distinction belongs to a percolator design that was produced specifically to compliment the Avocado Round buffet servers in 1968; predating the Shell Oil Macrame in "Avocado" by about 4 years.
