My mom used Corelle dishes since before I was born (55 years). I inherited all her stuff. We still have Gold Butterfly dinner plates. They are thicker material than the newer plates and they wear almost like iron. I just dropped a bowl of chili on the kitchen floor (large soup bowl size) the splatter went 6 feet but the bowl didn't break. It's only a few years old, so not as tough as the old ones. My 1st thought was 'good old Corelle' saved my butt again!
Corelle is made in Corning, New York but is no longer part of Corning or Pyrex. I make Corelle dishes. The first year and a half that I worked there I packed the dishes and for the last 13 years I have been running the machine that makes them. My wife has 18 different sets that serve 6 people and we love them. The difference in the cups is because the curved handle is made with the glass of Corelle and the other is made from a different glass by Pyrex. Sadly we don't make the cups anymore so if you by a set with cups or glasses they are made by some other company
That was cool to read. Thanks! I was just on another of those tedious thrifting channel's and this "educator" told her sheep that Corelle was porcelain. I have a BSE in art ed. My major was ceramics. I told her Corelle is glass. Porcelain is clay. I'll bet she bans me. Personally, I like knowing what I'm talking about and reading comments from someone who actually makes the damn stuff is where it's at.
Why has Corelle stopped making cups?? I was looking for a cup set of corelle. Now that I know they don't make them anymore, its disappointing to know what's available in market is fake!
An episode of Mr. Rogers once showed a film of Corelle dinnerware being made. Of course, he never mentioned the brand name, but he did call them "very strong plates".
I love these nostalgia dishes but I recently found out they had lead in them so I stopped using them for food. Now I use them as saucers for my potted plants.
I dropped a stack of 12 "Old Town Blue "plates on a Terrazo floor and not one of them broke! No chips, cracks. No damage at all. Excellent dishes, especially with children.
Butterfly golden was my mom's set. She had the complete set..platter..2 huge side serving bowls..butter dish..sugar/creamer set...I miss them and her...the set matched our kitchen color theme.
I am honestly crazy for Corelle. I think it's one of the greatest inventions up there with... okay not the light bulb... not the transistor... not the combustible engine... I am as impressed with Corelle as I am with Transitions lenses. Are those hook cups vitrelle? The same as the plates and bowls. Why don't they make them anymore? I love them? I guess they can't have a closed handle with vitrelle... I love the open handle.
Katherine Hancocks Yes they open handle cups are vitrelle. The cups may be made with closed handles. My mother’s set had closed handles. They switched to open handles because at the time you were told not to put mugs with closed handles in microwave ovens as it would damage the piece. So, they switched to making those hook handles. Incidentally they also stacked better in the cabinet.
I have mismatched pieces, I pick them up cheap. I use them because they are so light weight. I am disabled and they make my life so much easier. You might not realize it if you are an abled person, but the difference in weight between one of these plates and a stone ware plate is significant. Im hard on them because i have spasms. I did manage to break an old one once. I dropped it onto a carpeted floor and it broke straight in half. The two pieces were exactly the same. It made me laugh because it was so wierd.
@@fanorama1 Hi! This is Bridget using pal's YT acct. Enjoyed your presentation. 💖Agree whole-heartedly about the nostalgic, Americana aspect of Correlle, Corning & Pyrex. Always been a hoarder for vintage nesting, mixing, and chip n' dip bowls. Still gaga over glass-lidded storage dishes and pretty bakeware. The latter two brands featured prominently at our family dinner table.🍥My folk's faux "paper plate" option was a set of 4 handsome mcm 50s dusty pink square melamine plates with slightly rounded edges. They were large and had a bit heft to them w/o being heavy. Had to repurpose them later in life bcos they showed decades of topical scratches on surface, but still 😚loved 'em. 👭My BFFs family growing up had the Correlle with the 🥑avocado green daisy. Loved their bright whiteness, lightness & durability, but never been a 😣big fan of their patterns, print colors, or petite cups. Favored chunky white ⚜French Country ceramic dishes for longest time⏰, but eventually phased them out. 😍Fell back in love with beauty of Corelle in the 90s. Eventually bought a solid white round set of plates for a uber manly friend, and a square plate set for my dad after he had his stroke. 🤔Slowly found I also don't have the same tolerance for weighty or excessively fussy dishes as I mature. Plus, I could always attack clean-up w/a bit more gusto than grace. My grip strength has sometimes proven unreliable, esp. when at the sink. 😔Sadly, chipped a few too many ceramic dishes in my day. 🤗Correlle can take gentle abuse when stacking〰️ and still come out like a 💪champ. Winner, winner that it's so light.✴BONUS: D/W & microwave safe too. As a young adult, stupidly lost one of those retro pink plates to fire🔥in microwave when my parent's back turned😭. 😉Live & learn.
Omgmy parents had these dishes my entire childhood. My father bought five boxes of them and they still had them when he died. I know own Provençal blue. We bought many replacements. I just bought my daughter the hello kitty set. Love they have moved to kids ware
I collected and made huge sets for years. Bought them used very, very cheap. Unbelievable that I found nearly all accessories. Approximately 2 years ago, I had someone drive from 3 states away to buy a Crazy Daisy set for $600. This did not include the Pyrex mixing/nesting bowls or casseroles. I sold those separate. I used them for years. They were still in perfect shape when i sold them. Now the pieces are pretty difficult to find!
Hi the cup with the handle not touching the bottom do you have a set of service for 4 in it cups saucers tea plate dinner plate bowls i am intetested in it

Gotta love Corelle!
We had the navy blue pattern shown on the mugs at the beginning of the video. :) Memories!
my folks had the snowflake blue.. I still have them, but I think the prettiest one is the butterfly gold
Butterfly golden was my mom's set. She had the complete set..platter..2 huge side serving bowls..butter dish..sugar/creamer set...I miss them and her...the set matched our kitchen color theme.
my grandmother has the original old town blue
I am actually trying to think of a new pattern... See if they'll print it.
I have to think some more.
Maybe I can round up some 'Joy' and have a set?

The open handles were designed for fat male fingers

I have RA so when I have a flare-up, a piece of paper can be heavy!

I have tons of Spring Blossom (Crazy Daisy) dinnerware.
My aunt has the Butterfly Gold & has used it since before I was born (over 20yrs ago). She broke her first one last year lol.
I might be able to replace her broken piece!
I have some similar to the butterfly gold, but they’re more orange. 🧐
