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.
