What is /ck/'s favorite Corning Ware pattern?

Cornflower is the kind my mother had.
I really like the Blue Medallion, though.

I like the Garden Harvest one.
>>7397813
Also, the Spice o' Life pattern in your pic looks a lot better than the one on the website.
pic related.
I wish they had made the "French" lines with handles, because French Bisque is the shit.

CORNFLOWER
callaway ivy is pretty nice
Spice of life is what my mom has and my grandma used to have... She threw a lot away before I could convince her I would really, legitimately use them... which means of course that now she unloads all the gimmicky kitchen stuff she sees on me.
Pfaltzgraff Yorktowne, bitches.
I had no idea how common these things were before I came to /ck/.

i kinda like the blue dusk one
I loved this Corelle plate (Spring Meadow) growing up. Looking through that website, I love the Pennsylvania Dutch/Colonialist style of http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wxtLQD6Ajtw/VG-_6HoiJ-I/AAAAAAAAbw4/5heVpiuEoFw/s1600/Country%2BFestival%2B475.JPG and http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l1HNzmxZOV4/VG_2nVnE0hI/AAAAAAAAb2Q/F7fGMfSstiE/s1600/JCP-43-B.jpg

Hahahaha, sick. I got the exact same set. Like 50 years old.
>looking at vintage corningware on ebay
>shipping costs make it not worth it
>>7400606
check salvation army and other thrift stores. you might get lucky and find a whole set.
Just realised they have started remaking them in proper pyroceram so they can be used on the stovetop and oven... neat. I know whats I'm saving for now.

pretty sure that isn't corning ware, but crazy daisy is always acceptable
>>7400636
Yeah, I was already planning a trip to goodwill. They didn't have anything in French Bisque (as I expected), but I found a mint 1.5 qt cornflower casserole with lid for $5.
>>7400654
Form over function, senpai.
what about pyrex
that shit is goat
>>7401947
score
>>7397841
Maybe there was a few variants of it? Mine is slightly different from both of those...
>>7401970
>>7401982
Corelle (Vitrelle laminated glass) and Pyrex (borosilicate or soda-lime glass) are both products of Corning Glass Works, but they are not technically CorningWare (Pyroceram). It can sometimes be difficult to tell which is which, because a lot of the designs were used across product lines.
>>7402002
According to this there are a shitload of variants (almost every size had a slightly different design).

>>7402002
oooh. I like that one.
>>7401970
Do you store your leftovers in loose ceramic? It's airtight, unlike your garbage butter dish.
>>7402017
They're all made by the same company, which isn't even Corning anymore since they spun their consumer business off and sold it to some other company.
>>7402066
>i'm not even joking around, how do you know so much about mid 1900's glass/ceramic cookware?
There's this thing called Wikipedia...
Also Corning has quite a bit of a history in science and technology fields, and as an engineer I have an interest in that.
>>7402084
oh shit look at that.. i wikied corelle and pyrex, but never corning..
just how resistant to thermal shock is corning ware? i'm looking for a dish i can preheat to 450 degrees when baking bread, and then drop a cup or two of ~200 degree water into without breaking
>>7402066
Oh, so you get your butter to be room temp, then scoop and mush it into a upper dish to submerge in water? Oh, sounds great, I just take mine out of the wrapper and put it in a dish.
Other than

>>7398532
I HAVE THOSE.

pre much invincible. resistance to that kind of damage was the main selling point.
I like Forever Yours. maximum 90s, I feel like I'm living in Full House

>Corning Ware pattern?
My godmother got me an 8-place box set of Corelle by Corning with plates, bowls and cups as a housewarming gift 20 years ago but I can’t find a _single pic_ of the pattern on-line?
It’s got a blue 1/2” wide pattern of fruit (apple, cherry, peach(?), grapes, apple, cherry) within upper and lower solid blue borders. It’s not “Old Town Blue”. Anybody know what this is called?
Hope I don’t break any, because apparently this pattern doesn’t seem to exist…
>>7402268
A picture would help.
>>7402285
Yeah, I know and I've got a flip-phone but I don't know how to send any pics to my computer...

There's always the option of email. Take the pictures, use whatever browser is on the phone, email the pictures to yourself.

Nostalgia bump
>>7397813
is there any advantage to picking up vintage corningware at the thrift and not buying a new set of pyrex?
>>7405558
Not OP but they have different uses.
Vintage corningware (and the new release "stovetop" series) are made of vitroceram. They are relatively light (vs a enamel cast iron pot) can be used on the stove top and move tothe oven (for making casseroles). And the high heat shock resistance means you can make something ahead and store it in the fridge/freezer then move it straight to a pre-heated oven.
Pyrex make great baking dishes but caan be used over direct heat so no stove top use.
>>7405619
So why do I have Pyrex pots?
>>7402821
i have this set!
my grandma's hoarder brother died and i cleaned out his apartment and got them like new and a ton of amazing mid century modern teak furniture and a bunch of other crazy shit.. it was like a time warp to the 70s
>>7405619
pic related is pyrex.. it's great for candy making and rice
>>7402100
>in a corningware thread extolling the virtues of plastic
enjoy your bacteria somewhere else
>>7405672
Sorry, yes those are ok, they are a cariation of the material used for the corningware.
Pyrex in my mind is linked to borosilicate/soda-lime glass dishes like pic related. Which are very much not stoptop safe.
>>7405619
even if I was told it was stovetop safe, i'm not sure i would use anything other than metal on my stove. i just wouldn't trust it.
>>7405704
The vintage ones are awesome for use on the stove top (for stews and casseroles and other such uses). They are also microwave safe, which I forgot to list.
I gre up with my mom and grand-ma using them so it registers as normal to me. but I can see how someone who'se not used to them could freak out...
Quite honestly those >>7405672 freak me out, but as I said that's because I link Pyrex to those >>7405687 and the later will explode under direct heat.
>>7405619
>vitroceram
As a point of clarification, CorningWare dishes are made from a vitroceramic with the trade name Pyroceram, but there is no such thing as "vitroceram".
>>7405806
>can handle moderate direct heat
it's unfortunate that people are to stupid in general to comprehend this
i use mine for simmering.. they're fantastic
>>7405793
Thanks for the clarification.
>>7405819
and the soda-lime glass can probably handle almost as much direct heat. the difference between the two materials is pretty overblown
>>7405832
yeah, i know you're right.. it's just weird
i pressure can also - it's always wild/ a bit scary to see shit boiling away through clear glass
