Receta About Town With Corningware - Blue Daisy & Primavera?
It's been a while since I have done a post on patterns. Though there are a couple of gift line patterns left for me to cover at some point, I have pretty much covered all the "main" patterns. Occasionally there are some strange ones that I have no idea what they are called or whether they were simply test patterns.
That would be this one, that I found several weeks ago.... I have dubbed it "Blue Daisy", but Lord only knows if that is the actual name or not.
It was an A-series piece (because of the wider lugs) but it was completely unmarked. I am pretty sure it was either an A-8-B or an A-2-B depending on when it was manufactured.
My guess is sometime before 1985, because it still had the depressions under the lugs for the A-10-HG handle to attach securely.
Thus is the case with this pattern... I have only seen it once, and will probably never see it again. It looks just like the Primavera pattern that was used on Corelle in 1999.
I am assuming this was an extremely short lived CorningWare pattern, since Borden, Inc. filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter and was reorganized into World Kitchen, LLC. (peddlers of stoneware and soda-lime glass) I have no idea how many different pieces have this design applied, I have only seen a 1.5 liter sized one in person and an A-5 online from Australia. I am not sure how many other sizes were made in this pattern.
Where is your CorningWare??
