CORELLE DINNERWARE PATTERNS SERIES

If you own CorelleВ® dinnerware from before 2005, consider removing it from your kitchen cabinets due to concerns for high levels of Lead. This post is an educational opportunity for people to know that vintage dishes can be a source of lead exposure. Decades of daily use can cause deterioration of the paint, exposing the lead and making it easily ingestible. The FDA started to regulate lead-levels in dishware in 1971. вЂњUPDATE: Elevated lead levels are most dangerous in young children and pregnant mothers. The post that now has more than 77,000 shares has been updated to say this: CorelleВ® recommends using their pre-2005 dishes as вЂdecorative pieces.вЂ™ Discover which patterns contain Lead.

New Hampshire Department of Health and Human ServicesвЂ™ Public Health Services page posted a warning on Facebook about Corelle pieces. As this was the height of production for Butterfly Gold some of the pieces may include capacity stamps in both imperial and metric measurements.Corelle is responding to a now-viral post about its vintage dishware and its safety. In the early 1970s capacity listings on each dish were listed in imperial measurements, but by the late 1970s they were listed in metric units. The 024 two quart round casserole was most likely released as a promotional item, as it does not appear in any dealer catalogs. While the Butterfly Gold pattern was discontinued in 1981 its Corelle counterpart went on for many years after.

This second pattern was only released as nesting bowl sets and 470/480 casseroles. The 1979 pattern portrayed a bouquet of smaller flowers on stems. The original pattern was one large central flower flanked by a leaf, flower, and butterfly on each side on alternating white and orange bowls. The Butterfly Gold pattern was released both in 1972 and again in 1979 with an altered design. Tableware became one of CorningвЂ™s biggest hits and was released in patterns of Winter Frost White, Spring Blossom Green, Snowflake Blue, as well as Butterfly Gold. After 1975 these accessories were grouped into a category called Tabletop Ware. Other such table accessories were released to supplement the ovenware such as napkin rings, drinking glasses, teacups, creamers, etc. The Pyrex compatibles for Butterfly Gold can be found in two colors, both the orange tone that matches the Pyrex creation as well as a coordinating brown tone.
