Recently (in my quest for the perfect sourdough loaf), I tried using two cornflower blue 5x7 bakers I found while thrifting. Preheated them like I would my cast iron, loaded the dough, used the second baker like a lid. Wonder of wonders! Better than I expected! Wished I had discovered this years ago, but better late than never! 🤷🏻♀️
I collect and use the Blue Cornflower . I have at least 50 pcs. I also have the white electric plate and use it avidly. I have multiple size cassarol bowls with lids, pie pan, a couple meat loaf pans with lids , large cake pan, large narrow bread pan/loaf pan, coffee pots, frying pans, teapot etc.. I love my Corning Ware.
I picked up a square white Corning electrimatic skillet for $25 yesterday, AND it works!! Would love to learn more about it as I'd NEVER seen one before. The Cornflower is my pattern with plates, bowls etc.
@@SandBrat I can't give you a lot of info on the elec. plate. Just my experience. I only use the Corningware to cook on it. I have fry pans and cassarole pans and they can be used on it. I like it because it cooks ok but it doesn't fry things to an oblivian. I've never boiled water for spaggetti so can't tell you if it does well with that. But I fry meat in it . Fry hamb for chili and cook the chili on it. Cook a roast on it. Fry chicken and make chicken gravy for chicken on a biscuit. The temp guide is on mine so I know what to use but I just go with what has worked for me. I love it.
The rarest and most unknown version of Corningware is the 1970 only Renaissance pattern. Instead of flowers or vegetables, this pattern shows a 17th century seaport.
Thank you so much for the info. We have so many of these corningware dishes and had no idea they were collected. Definitely going to continue watching your channel. 😊
Amazed how much people collect Corning wear. I just did a search on storing it after getting some more from my Grandmother. Looks like I have alot to learn.
Hey y'all probably didn't know my great aunt actually had CorningWare that you mentioned that was actually rare and worth some money my great aunt passed away back in 2016 so her biological daughter Jo what's the one that got all of my biological grade aunt in adopted mother kitchen things and I can be honest I don't know if Joe still has the CorningWare but it's like the ones that you were mentioning that are more than $100 when it's resold it's actually can fetch a great deal of money one thing I need to find out if Jo still has it because that would imply that my ingredients even though she was terrible about spending money she actually knew about certain vintage CorningWare and yes I do remember it being a pretty good size and in pretty good condition and it still had the lid so one thing I'm going to have to find out if Jo still has it because if she does that would be a good thing for her and me if not to find out what happened to it so I know and learn more about CorningWare that way if something were to come up there would be a means of being able to either buy or sell or something like that one thing's for sure I'll need to show Jo when I get around to it I'll need to show Joe about this and remind her about the CorningWare and that I do you remember that mom had some of the CorningWare especially from what I can remember the ones that actually are when they are being sold they actually can fetch a really good price❤ any who y'all have a blessed day❤.
Grew up with blue cornflower cookware, golden butterfly plates, and VISION cookware. Mom still has the plates, and I’ve been collecting the VISION stuff from thrifting. Looks like I need to go snag the white stuff too (with lids!).
My dad gave me a corningware 1.5 quart pot which started my corningware collecting adventure. I just came back from the goodwill with 3 blue cornflower pieces! Petite pan, 6.5 inch saucepan, and a 10 inch casserole pot with lid all for $15!
Thank you thank you thank you I really enjoyed listening to the Corning information you shared. I have a collection of the spice Corning ware. I have the slow cooker, the cans used for coffee and sugar. And all kinds of sizes of Corning ware. I’m so glad you shared information about them.
Picked up mine from my mom. She cooked with them for years. I still do myself. They are very durable and we use them frequently. Never thought of them as collectible though. Just practical. 😊
Another great video! I never realized how many patterns there were and that they were valuable. As for suggestions, what about collections of service station items? Phillip66, Gulf, Texaco, etc…
Had the Spice of life set back in the 70’s. I now own the SHadow Iris Pattern in all sizes together with lasagna dish. Also have 8 piece setting of tableware square plus 6 piece of the round.
Still use my Corningware. I’ve got the Shadow Iris pattern in 1.5 and 2 litre sizes. Made for Canadians I guess since we use the metric system. I also have a couple of other patterns in larger sizes that came from thrift stores. They are such good pieces of cookware.
I have a question? I see on the spice of life set that some of them have a hieroglyphic number next to the pattern. and some do not is there a significant reason for that. ??
We have at least one Cornflower-patterned dish at my mom’s (born 1933) house that I think was my grandmother’s (born 1910). We have a LOT of Corningware and Pyrex cookware that were my mom’s and grandma’s. ❤❤❤
Interesting info :) Unfortunately, corning ware isn't worth that much. Probably money laundering at these prices. I have the 1qt blue cornflower with lid and I can't even sell it for $60.
The 1 qt cornflower casserole either Pre-68 or post-68 in very good condition should sell for about $12-$14 with a lid. That’s a far cry from hundreds of dollars.
I have watched several of your videos and really enjoy the history as well as the value that you add into the videos. I have a question, the blue cornflower pattern, does the white lid hold more value with these pieces over the clear lid?
I have a complete set of Corning pots and the large roasting pan I have the small square pans, the little frying pan, the canisters etc. all over 50 yrs old.
Hi, I HATE to be the one to say this but....Best research which pattern and what year your Corning/Corelle was made. Last summer, I purchased a large group of Corelle ware ("Indian Summer"). When I googled to see if was dishwasher safe, a list of warnings appeared. I had no idea. After 2005, your dishes are lead free. Prior, the paint may contain toxins (Lead, mercury, cadmium). It is advised that dished before 1978 NOT be used but for decoration only. Especially, do not use damaged/worn/faded pieces as the chemicals can leach out into the food. I returned my dishes as I have young grandchildren and didn't want to take any chances. Just wanted to pass this along to ALWAYS do your research.
I use vintage Corning Ware and do not fear it. I have also read about the lead issue. Any lead based paint was only used on the outside decor. It did not touch the food area. People won't be licking the decor and it doesn't rub off onto your hands. The inside surface is sealed and safe. It has never been proven that people have been harmed or died from using vintage Corning Ware. I have used it for yrs. and still do and I'm still alive and over 70 yrs old. People who fear lead on Corning are over reacting. imo.
I just saw this video...I have the 1 quart and I believe 2-quart blue flower dishes...where would you suggest I take them to see if I want to sell them please? I would not do this myself on ebay or such. THank you!
I remember two families who had a Corning Ware range. They only used Corning cookware, but thinking about it I think anything would have worked. Cast iron probably would have scratched it.
So many patterns I've never seen in all my travels!---I have, occasionally, added to my Corelle dish set from my wedding in 1971. It's rare that I find Corelle in my area, or Corning cookware either, which says something about owners not readily giving up their pieces. On my bucket list of places to see is the Corning Museum of Glass. I've been on several Celebrity cruises that have the Corning Hot Glass studio on the top deck, & have pieces from the shows!
I bought a cornflower blue pot ffrom the 70's a few days ago at a thrift store, I regret it as I found out they have lead. Can you explain why it's so valuable if we can't cook with them due to the lead content? I don't know what to do with my pot and I can't return it.
Mike , I appreciate your knowledge . Only think I would change is when quoting e-bay pricing only quote sold listings . I have found that many times what someone's asking price is not always what it sells for .
@@66uniqueantiques Sorry , I misunderstood your comments . I missed the part where you stated they were sold listings . I was only trying to be helpful .
Thank you, came here to check out the lead issue. I guess you never can be sure until you test it. I think there are lead testing kits online, but yeah, everyone used these back in the day. What is the best way to sell them? I was thinking about doing a 7 day auction on eBay, or maybe Etsy for some of my stuff I collected (was my pandemic hobby).
I have a complete blue corn set from my grandmother. My husband wanted one to make ramen & noticed it has A 26 on the bottom. Can you tell the age by it? Is there a site that will tell you the age?
I bought a new corelle set from Kroger. I dropped a dinner plate and it broke into a hundred pieces. I bought it for it's reputation of being strong and unbreakable. My SIL said hers broke as well. It breaks like glass, it shatters. Luckily it didn't get into the food I was preparing.
Other than the Cornflower, the Spice of Life, and French White, I don't think I've ever seen the other designs. Haven't seen the coffee pot since my Grands had one in mid 70's. I have a red mixing bowl I've had since the early 80's. It was given to me by a friend for the Nostolgia
Red mixing bowl? Never seen that by Corning Ware. I have seen a red bowl made by Pyrex that is part of the nesting bowl set. Does your say Corning Ware? I had a red loaf pan in red that said "Corning" on the bottom but it was a very new product and not the vintage.
@@66uniqueantiques recently given all 3 kinds of Corning ware the white set all mint with kids the white and blue sunflower all with lids mint and the casserole dish I call it a lasagna dish no lid I don’t think it came with one from a family friend whose mom passed she was in her 90s I believe so I know vintage but the casserole dish has no writing on it but the veg motives are there perfect on both sides where would the writing go or was it ever there
I have been picking up some nice pieces, but I always grab lids whenever I run across them. I had four lids that I paid ten dollars for and I sold them to my friend at the family price of sixty dollars, before I could even clean them up. By the way I use a jeweler's silver polishing cloth for the final shine and I know that it really is worth the effort and they cost about seven bucks and a couple of my cloths are maybe four years old. Corningwear = $$.
@@66uniqueantiques prices sure are all over the place. I have the 1 qt, 1 1/2 qt & 2 1/2 qt with lids. The 6 cup coffee pot and a 1 1/2 qt saucepan (no lid). All blue cornflower. Any body remember the handles you’d use? I have 2 of those too. Great video!
I read online that the pieces of corning ware listed for thousands of $$$ are actually people who are money laundering. Do you have any information regarding this?
I always learn something from you. I grew up with corningware, mostly cornflower. My mother loved it, from the big baking dishes to the little teapot. I knew it still has value but I didn’t realize it’s actively collected. I’m going to pay attention when I see it at thrift stores. I wouldn’t mind having one of the big baking dishes to use, as well as collect. Thank you!
I had a Corningware casserole dish that I think had the Spice of Life pattern, or something very similar, but it was off-white with a brown glass lid. I got it in the 80s for my first apartment. I broke the lid around 2008 and, not realizing what I had, threw the whole thing away. Looking back, I could have gotten a replacement lid from eBay or Amazon. 🤦🏽♀️
I was at 2 estate sales this morning one I was in line at before they opened, the other I was at 30min after opening. At one I found a 2 quart spice of life with lid (as well as the 1 quart spice of life). An older gentleman tried to guilt me into giving them to him because he said his wife sent him for the 2 quart. At the other estate sale I found a 1 quart blue Corning with lid (as well as the 1 quart measure cup). Surely these cannot be the sought after ones? No way I could have hit it out of the park on my first time going to an estate sale? The houses were in very nice, older neighborhoods but Something must be different with mine, I bet..
Corningware is not worth thousands. Whoever is paying that much is crazy. Everyone should get one though. It’ll outlive you and can become heirlooms for your kids and grandkids
A lot of the high dollar sold eBay listing you’re showing I believe are items listed and sold buy nefarious sellers trying to hype up the value. Many of them have no feedback or selling history at all. Buyer beware and look for feedback. The market is flooded with spice of life items under $20 so why would you spend $1k-10k for the same thing?
WARNING!! I had a complete set of all the original blue cornflower corning ware. I amassed it over the years. Five years ago I sent two casseroles to my sister who was ill. Her nephew returned the casseroles and lids-----she washed them and put them in a paper bag. It was Feb. and the weather was cold. On the way to my house (5 min. away from hers), one casserole simply exploded----with shards of glass all over the car, and a large one lodging in the dashboard. Her nephew had to go to the ER to have some small pieces of the casserole removed from the back of his neck. No more corning ware casseroles for me! In another case, another cousin had the large blue cornflower coffee pot. It blew up on the stove, sending shards of glass all over the kitchen----some were stuck in the walls, while others lodged in the cabinet doors-----that's how intense the explosion was. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU WANT TO USE THE ORIGINAL BLUE CORNFLOWER CORNING WARE. IT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
The inflated prices you quoted are scams. Please do not perpetuate these inflated values as they are not real. P.S. Human traffickers use different online platforms to 'sell' their illegal activities. Wayfarer, Walmart, eBay, to name a few.
I had no idea these were so sought after. I’ve been cooking with them for years, and taking them for granted!
Absolutely! There is a collector for everything lol
Same. I threw one of my Corningware dishes from the 80s away!

Corningwear means a lot to me my mother had her grandfathers coffee pot and the little blue flower reminds me of my childhood
Nice!
Wonderful! my piece of Corningware brought in 1970 for cooking now worth a million, I soon become a very rich man

I read somewhere that the ridiculously high prices ($1000+) on eBay are for either money launderers or drug dealers.

Interesting info :) Unfortunately, corning ware isn't worth that much. Probably money laundering at these prices. I have the 1qt blue cornflower with lid and I can't even sell it for $60.
eBay is always a testy market and that is the proof right there
I’ve sold Corning Ware for years. I agree, most of the high prices that are posted as sold on reselling sites are probably due to $ laundering.
Child and sex trafficking
The 1 qt cornflower casserole either Pre-68 or post-68 in very good condition should sell for about $12-$14 with a lid. That’s a far cry from hundreds of dollars.
Money laundering with Corning Wear is a new one to me.

I have my moms set, I think I have the 1 qt blue cornflower with the lid! 😊
Might want to do some checking online
@@66uniqueantiques prices sure are all over the place. I have the 1 qt, 1 1/2 qt & 2 1/2 qt with lids. The 6 cup coffee pot and a 1 1/2 qt saucepan (no lid). All blue cornflower. Any body remember the handles you’d use? I have 2 of those too. Great video!
Thanks Terri!
@@tlrice72 I used to have two handles and since I moved cant find either One!
I have one..bought in 1980-1985!!
Nice!!
I read online that the pieces of corning ware listed for thousands of $$$ are actually people who are money laundering. Do you have any information regarding this?
Wouldn’t surprise me lots of people do weird things to pump up values
I have a set of the Buffet Server collection.
Nice!
I have one
This is the disign and later at the back

Nice!
I always learn something from you. I grew up with corningware, mostly cornflower. My mother loved it, from the big baking dishes to the little teapot. I knew it still has value but I didn’t realize it’s actively collected. I’m going to pay attention when I see it at thrift stores. I wouldn’t mind having one of the big baking dishes to use, as well as collect. Thank you!
Thanks RuthAnne! Good luck finding the big baking dish they are out there 🙂
I had a Corningware casserole dish that I think had the Spice of Life pattern, or something very similar, but it was off-white with a brown glass lid. I got it in the 80s for my first apartment. I broke the lid around 2008 and, not realizing what I had, threw the whole thing away. Looking back, I could have gotten a replacement lid from eBay or Amazon. 🤦🏽♀️
Live and learn! We have all thrown away something we shouldn’t of 🙂
@@66uniqueantiques: As it turns out, it was the Symphony pattern I had. Thanks for responding. 🥰
Absolutely
The value of the 1qt must have went down cuz I just found a bunch of sold listings for like $5??
Yea crazy prices but I would assume the super high prices are scams
I have the cornflower set
Nice!
I see the corn flower all the time I have some. I'm a antique collector and I absolutely hate this pattern. I can't bring myself to buy it. Lol
That happens too….everyone has their own style they like
Lots of crazy prices on corning ware on eBay. But nothing above $75 gets any bids. Closes without selling.
That doesn’t surprise me
840 degrees Celsius…
Something around 1400-1500ish degF!
If Corning Ware is so indestructible, there should be plenty of it to go around. Meaning, it shouldn’t be that expensive, even on eBay.
There is
I collect and use crazy daisy
A lot of collectors of that pattern
I was at 2 estate sales this morning one I was in line at before they opened, the other I was at 30min after opening.
At one I found a 2 quart spice of life with lid (as well as the 1 quart spice of life). An older gentleman tried to guilt me into giving them to him because he said his wife sent him for the 2 quart.
At the other estate sale I found a 1 quart blue Corning with lid (as well as the 1 quart measure cup).
Surely these cannot be the sought after ones? No way I could have hit it out of the park on my first time going to an estate sale?
The houses were in very nice, older neighborhoods but Something must be different with mine, I bet..
Also I’ve noticed my lids don’t say Pyrex 😔
You never know check eBay sold listings to see what you got. Most likely they are common pieces but as long as you like it that’s all that matters
Its a shame that Corningware & Corelle are going strong, but PYREX only makes dishware in Europe and we only have pyrex here in the US.
Pyrex is as hot as ever as well
Corningware is not worth thousands. Whoever is paying that much is crazy. Everyone should get one though. It’ll outlive you and can become heirlooms for your kids and grandkids
I agree they are crazy but people are crazy lol
❤❤❤😊
🙂🙂
I have at least 500 piece
Nice!!
I have some of these “high sellers” in my collection and I highly doubt the sold prices are legit.
I would agree with that but interesting to see how the sold listings go
Ok, who pays that price?
They are out there…. Not saying it’s all the time but you’d be surprised what can happen at auction
In that case I’m a millionaire I have hundred of them
Do some research you could have some gems
I've heard those r artificially inflated prices to try and increase profit. I find it hard to believe any corning ware pc sells for 6,000
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ I hope
Not
A lot of the high dollar sold eBay listing you’re showing I believe are items listed and sold buy nefarious sellers trying to hype up the value. Many of them have no feedback or selling history at all. Buyer beware and look for feedback. The market is flooded with spice of life items under $20 so why would you spend $1k-10k for the same thing?
Could be that is why I show the sold listings so people can see the craziness
Let me know how to sent you picture

WARNING!! I had a complete set of all the original blue cornflower corning ware. I amassed it over the years. Five years ago I sent two casseroles to my sister who was ill. Her nephew returned the casseroles and lids-----she washed them and put them in a paper bag. It was Feb. and the weather was cold. On the way to my house (5 min. away from hers), one casserole simply exploded----with shards of glass all over the car, and a large one lodging in the dashboard. Her nephew had to go to the ER to have some small pieces of the casserole removed from the back of his neck. No more corning ware casseroles for me! In another case, another cousin had the large blue cornflower coffee pot. It blew up on the stove, sending shards of glass all over the kitchen----some were stuck in the walls, while others
lodged in the cabinet doors-----that's how intense the explosion was. PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU WANT TO USE THE ORIGINAL BLUE CORNFLOWER CORNING WARE. IT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN.
Yikes sorry that happened to you
Wow!ai just buy it use it. 11:10
Most do
eBay is the MOST expensive place for purchasing things. World wide audience.
Biggest market in the world
@@66uniqueantiqueshence, the highest prices. At least for the most part.
🤪🤔
🤨
Not true. Corningware is prettty cheap in thrift shops.
I’ve seen some go cheap while some also can fetch a decent price as well
if itn ain't useful. it ain't worth it ... i luv to cook ...
absolutely
The inflated prices you quoted are scams. Please do not perpetuate these inflated values as they are not real. P.S. Human traffickers use different online platforms to 'sell' their illegal activities. Wayfarer, Walmart, eBay, to name a few.
Just relaying prices from eBay feel free to look up sold listings
Stop this madness you get the same product for 10-20 bucks

Where??
