Corningware and Visions Houston

Fireside/amber lids were used on Corningware patterns made in the early 90s. Near the end of that era, 94ish, a few clear lids appeared as production lines changed over. The abundance of the clear lids in current ads are mostly replacements. (They fit, only sharing for accuracy.)
The fireside lids are not common, since only produced for 5 years.
I've held this set until now to provide accuracy.
Found one missing fireside lid just yesterday.

Classic Black is a relatively unknown Corningware pattern, only made from 1990-94 and only serving pieces made.
From elegant dinners to informal get togethers using pink, mint or yellow as accent colors, it makes quite a statement.
2.8 liter casserole in excellent condition.

Sneaking this Corelle platter in since it is also a brand of Corning. Platters are becoming harder to find, possibly due to their increased popularity as salad plates.
This is a 90s pattern, Abundance. There is also a Corningware pattern Abundance and goes well with cranberry or Amber Visions

This Corningware Blue Cornflower was made between 1972-88, the later years. The plastic lid is a nice bonus, they are very hard to find. Three piece set is 1.5 quart in good condition.

Pricing is individual option, but this is ludicrous. This vintage Dutch Oven is listed at 999.00. Um, I have one for 50.00.
It's also 5 qt, even though it is marked 4 qt. I put a lot of time into research to.knowvstiff like that.

The couple who selected both of these this week have been regular clients at my biz Pet Stuff Resale since 2002 or 03! This is their first venture into Houston Thrift Stuff, from which I sell a wide variety of home goodies.
I have lots of Corningware and Visions, meet folks at various places around Houston and share a booth at the Antique Gallery in Spring.
The husband just found a book of Campbell's soup recipes,
asked what I could find in the 1.5 qt range.
This is All White 1.5 qt and French White 1.6 qt.
(This is vintage Corningware, the newer French White is stoneware which I do not sell as it is not as versatile.)
I have asked for pictures...
I can help you also, text me, Janet 817-480-8400

This is an unusual item from Corningware, a microwave dish with a "waffle" lid for easier refrigerator stacking. The lids are now almost rare, these were only made in a few patterns.
They were developed when frozen veggies first came out in bricks
This is the smaller size, 5"x7".

Men are tough, present wise..what to get them?
Corningware All White and French White are great for guys that cook, very versatile and no foo foo pattern designs.
Pyrex lids can go to about 425 degrees, but the white pryroceram can be used with even any outdoor kitchen ensemble near and dear to a guys heart. Never too cold or too hot for it.
Of course can go from cooking to table top to refrigerator or freezer, one dish, less mess.
The dish on the left was probably a slow cooker insert, 3!liters it looks, great for soups, chili, spaghetti....

This unusual set of Corning dishes is uncommon, but not rare. Three together is close to rare.
Vintage cranberry, not made since early 2000s, it was originally considered a chip and dip set. It functions easily as well as soup and sandwich combo. That would be grilled cheese and mater soup to this Southerner.
The bowls had plastic lids when made, I have only seen in in all of these years.

Just found this beauty at an estate sale this morning:)
Love living in a rural area, several Longhorns came to check me out as I was leaving.
Vintage Visions 5 qt Dutch Oven in cranberry. The bottom is slightly pebbled to provide a hint of friction with glass topped stoves
In excellent condition
The seller told me her kitchen was done in aubergine at one point and she has more still packed. I hope so.
The online prices are of course ludicrous..up to 112.00 plus shipping.
50.00 plus tax

Houston Thrift Stuff - Interview

How old is my Pyrex measuring cup? • Sarah's Bites I’ve purchased a few vintage Pyrex measuring cups at estate sales and yard sales over the years. The internet doesn’t seem to have much information on the age of Pyrex measuring cups by decade, at least not summarized into one place. A few well-known details are fairly common to find online: D-h...

Shadow Iris is one of the most popular vintage Corningware patterns. It was revived for several years after being retired. Last made in 2009 in the US.
This skillet straddles the Corning Visions, having the same waffle base, creating little pockets for liquids. The learning curve is well worth it to create succulent dishes. The major tip is to keep lower temps, which is true of all Corningware and Visions. Keeps kitchen heat lower as well.
Lids are very rare, none of the ones online have one, not sure of the reason. It might be that since they had no id, as most CW did(Pyrex), they were thrown out at some point. Not many of these were made either, so lids not interchangeable as other pieces.

This is the first for me! My Garden was only made from 1999-2OOO so not many pieces out there. It had the wrong lid, luckily I had a correct one in my stash.
This is a two qt.

If you are ever helping clean out a home, please don't toss handkerchiefs with a pattern. A client is
wanting to make a handkerchief skirt and they are often considered not useable.

Also looking for donated pool noodles for shipping.

Country Cornflower is not a rare pattern, it is unusual in having saucepans in a square casserole pattern.
Corningware did that with a few patterns.
This was manufactured between 1988-93; these are a 3 qt casserole, 1.5 liter saucepan, .5 liter saucepan.
All in good condition.

Shell Oil Blue (and green) Macrame in Corningware was only made from 1971-73. It was available thru an order blank on the envelope of credit card holders, hence the name. The shade is almost cobalt.
The bottom piece is a 1.5 qt casserole.15.OO(I think)
The Corelle dishes above are also vintage, I do not recall the years of manufacture.
4 salad plates
4 dinner plates.

This is one of the first pieces of Corningware made! This version was only made in 1958-59.

The size was not printed on it anywhere, the company printing was raised lettering from the mold, no coloration at all.
The lid is called a fin lid. Few CW items are rare, despite the horrendous prices on eBay and false articles. Fin lids are almost rare. Consumer input about slipping while wet changed the design to a small k**b
and then to the larger k**bbed lid in 1972.
Between breakage and short manufacturing time, few have survived.
I have waited several years until I found the correct lid to post this 2.5 qt casserole.It is in very good condition
especially for its age. The fin lid has had a small area ground down so it is safe, no chips or cracks.

Welcome to two new fans this week!
My main thrift page is Houston Thrift Stuff. This is a an off shoot page for folks that mainly like Corningware and Visions.
Today I am posting Pyrex,(all same company) not usually on my hunt list, but this one is in primo condition. That is not common, there are often "flea bites" or metal utensil marks.

Blue Cornflower was the longest running pattern made in the US by Corning, 1958-88. This set is pre
1972 as are the lids. (My accurate lid-to-base standard is becoming harder to maintain as older lids are becoming more scarce.)
This is 1 qt, 1.5 qt, 1.75 qt casseroles and 1O" skillet.
The removable lids are easier to use than they appear and one fits all 4 dishes.
