About Town With Corningware - Blue Monday

I decided to group all these together, because they all have one thing in common.....  "Blue"  Not so much that the color of the pattern is blue, even though it is, but the pattern name itself contains the word "blue".  

Blue Dusk
 (1994-1997)


Blue Velvet
 (1997-1998)


Blue Heart
 (1998)


Provincial Blue
 (1992-????)


Blue Heather
(Designer Casserole Series that includes April, Indian Summer and Meadow )
(1976-1979)


Which was a specialty piece made to coordinate with the Corelle pattern and the Teapot. (seen below)

And just for fun.....  
Blue Cornflower
 (1957-1988) (2009-Present)


Technically, it's just "Cornflower", but most people, including myself, refer to it as "Blue" Cornflower to differentiate it from "Country Cornflower"

Where is your Corningware??

About Town With Corningware - Cherries, Peaches and Grapes.... Oh My!

Found at several stores...  Value Village, Good Will, Salvation Army and Chase Me Again......

Fruit Basket...  (1997-1998) a new enough pattern that it is probably still being actively used by the original owners, so it tends to be a little hard to find in certain geographical areas.  The French White version is harder to find.

Fruit Basket is a "multi-pattern", just like Quilt; meaning there is a different designs within the pattern and those different designs appear on different saucepans/casseroles.

1 1/2 Quart
(A-1 1/2-B)


5 Quart
(A-5-B)


1 Quart
(A-1-B)

The cherry print was also found on the P-43 (20 oz petite dish) and the A-3-B (3 quart saucepan)

Then there was the "pièce de résistance"... With Cherries, Grapes AND Peaches....  :)

2 Quart 
(A-2-B)


This multi-fruit pattern was also printed on the A-21-B-N Open Roaster.

This same multi-fruit pattern was also used to adorn French White pieces and complimented with Pyrex "Spring Green" lids...  Known pieces to date are the F-2 (2 1/2 qt Casserole)

 The F-5 (1.5 quart souffle)
as well as the F-1 (2.5 quart Souffle)
