Blue Cornflowers



One of the treasures that I found at the MCC Relief sale was this little 1 1/2 quart loaf pan with a lid.
It actually has straight sides but the magic of photography changed it to sloped sides.
I have had this Blue Cornflower pattern of Corning Ware since we have been married and of all the gifts we had received.....
the assortment of casseroles are in  the same condition as they were in in 1978.



Of course...you can still buy these products but if they are purchased new they won't  have the stamp on the bottom which says MADE IN CANADA.

You can still find them for sale ...
but finding them with a Stamp made in Canada might be a bit harder.

They don't make Corning Ware like they used to.
It was first introduced in 1958 and was then made of a glass ceramic material which could be used on stove top and under the broiler..
When it was sold in the late 90's they changed the product to a ceramic stoneware.
Make sure if you are looking for vintage pieces it is either made in Canada or the US.

I had 4 different sized casseroles complete with lids...
and now I have five.

Do you have a pattern of Corning Ware from the olden days?

That was the first of the treasures I found.
I'll share more tomorrow.

I've already used this sweet little short loaf pan and likely will for the rest of my kitchen cooking days.

all for now...

  1. I am ashamed to say that in a moment of purging extra dishes, I gave all my Corning Ware the boot. Sigh. Sometimes, I still go looking for it and then I remember what I did. Glad that you still have yours and that it's multiplying.

  2. I have a few pieces from our wedding. Real small casseroles with plastic lids and two pie plates. I don't have any that say made in Canada! I think I gave my larger pieces to Dan...

  3. Now I have to go and take a look at my stamps on the bottom. It`s funny to think that some of our wedding dishes, such as floral pyrex mixing bowls which I`m still using ... are becoming vintage pieces ... not just old dishes.

    1. Have you tried to buy a set of those coloured pyrex mixing bowls lately? I've seen them in antique stores $40.00 and up! I felt lucky when I found some at a garage sale.

    1. Yes Jill, Yours were likely made in the US. None of them are made in either of our countries anymore. It is not hard to guess where they are now made.

  5. Yes, I have about 10 pieces and use them all of the time! They were made in USA.

  6. I too have casseroles in that corning "cornflower" pattern that I still use. I bet that new-to-you loaf pan would be the perfect size for meatloaf for two.

  7. I had to check immediately what my "1973" shower gift Corning ware is - it's stamped as a 6 cup, Made in Canada, and says "For Range and Microwave"!!! Wow - I didn't know there even were Microwaves back then???? Maybe this isn't as old as 1973??? Hmmmm. Anyway, it's one of my favourite casseroles - just the right size for most things and also still good as new.

  8. I'm still using vintage corning that came as wedding gifts 41 years ago. Now I must go see if they say 'made in Canada'. I like that! Great find, Lovella.

  9. How lovely! It reminds me of all the casseroles my mother used to make. Your new find looks to be in mint condition. Good for you! :o)

  10. There was a very real perception that bi-racial was much worse for the white than it was for the person of color. The liberal culture screamed racism when there is a very reasonable explanation for this reality::::
    In this white punishment known as the United States the person of color has already adopted the disfavors/temptations intended for another race. But by associating/mating with a person of color the white is newly adopting the disfavors of another culture.
    And this is the reason why people of color are not welcome in the United States. The gods control everything:::The perception they want to create, the thoughts they want you to have.
    People of color can't recover from absorbing the temptations from two cultures. And why they become more and more like so many blacks in America:::Veterans at absorbing the temptations of two cultures.
    To further illustrate this is why California's educational system/funding was ranked #1 when California was white:::Education being the basis of the affluent economic system. Now even public higher education has become unaffordable.

    The gods placed us all into our own corners of the globe. As such for thousands of years we spent time and reproduced with out own kind.
    This is why mobilty/travel, biracial unions/offspring and partaking of other cultures is a sin::::
    Each has it's own elements of disfavor, and by experiencing other cultures you are being exposed to these disfavors, which if people may adopt will make their state even worse than prior.
    The United States has been considered a "melting pot" where rejects from around the world were sent when kicked out of their motherland.
    Remember, this concept of cultural diversity is an element of the liberal platform the gods used to promote societal decay, revealed on the map with the "beast" that is the SanFranciscoBayArea and the spread of social deterioration that spread to the rest of the country and eventually to the entire globe.

    Ronald Reagan spent the communist block into submission with defense buildup, and in the process increased the National debt from $1 trillion in 1980 to $6 trillion when he left office.
    W charged both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to the national debt, honest numbers to come.
    The gods used W to initiate the "Great Recession" with deliberate legislation/regulation changes, allowing the sub-prime fiasco and corporate irresponsibility/criminal behavior which led to the multi-trillion dollar stimulous package, pocketted by Republican friends and donors::::$5 trillion charged to the National credit card.
    This corruption is one element of evil in the party of good. War mongering is another.
    Damned if you do, Damned if you don't::::With the Democrats you subscribe to social decay via liberlism, which WILL lead to the Apocalypse. Republicans are being used by the gods to bankrupt the United States, ultimately motivating people to the point of "desperation prayer" once anarchy presides::::Punishment designed to correct your behavior.
