Vintage luxury dishware enthusiasts often set their sights on Corelle products, and for good reason. Corelle is one of several brands of dishware manufactured under Corning Glass Works, and it is arguably one of the most popular brands of dishware by Corning Glass Works. Production began on Corelle dishware in 1970. The original dishware was simple, pure white plates made from a tempered glass material known as Vitrelle. Through the late 70s and early 80s, Corelle added several patterns. One of the most popular patterns is the Butterfly Gold. According to Business Insider, Corelle dinnerware became so popular that it was found in at least 35% of American households in the 1970s and 80s. As time went on trends changed and patterns changed, but Corelle has remained a staple dishware brand in many households. Today, vintage Corelle dinnerware is highly sought after for their unique designs and patterns.
You can find a number of antique Corelle dishes for sale through antique dinnerware collectors like Beckalar.
The plates are durable and lightweight. One of the reasons why Corelle dishware has been so popular among families is because their products are chip-resistant, fade-resistant, light-weight, and microwave-safe. Three very important features for any family dishes. This is all made possible with Vitrelle, a shatter-resistant tempered glass.
Vintage Corelle dinnerware is unique. While Corelle products are still sold in a variety of places worldwide, certain discontinued Corelle dishware lines and patterns are coveted by antique dishware collectors and are hard to find. Corelle dishware patterns are also fade-resistant, which makes them all the more desirable and unique.
Corelle dishware is economical. Corelle has never been considered an expensive dishware brand. At its peak, you could buy Corelle dishware for as low as $15. While you may pay more for a vintage Corelle collection, the dishes ultimately pay for themselves over time, because of their durability.
