Is it weird that I have no memory of what tableware we used? Most of my childhood is missing from my memory actually.
I had a great aunt that worked for Syracuse China, which during the mid-20th century was one of the largest suppliers of fine China to hotels and restaurants. Whenever someone in the family got married, they got a full set of fine expensive Syracuse China. Most family members also bought a cheaper set for daily use. So I never had Corelle as a kid.
Today, after all these years, the grandkids all have their own set, passed down from older generations, and my mom still has about 4 full sets she’s inherited over the years. Anytime someone visits by car, she tries to convince them to take a set. They are beautiful antique china, but who needs fine China these days?
Before anyone suggests selling it, nobody is buying, and even the china brokers are backing off and buying much much less. The fine china market is glutted, and pretty much dead, even for excellent collections like ours.
Patternless. Plain white. Which works well, because if you break a plate you don’t have to worry about whether they still make that pattern.
just a PSA for those of you unaware; these plates up until 2004 contained lead paint. If you’re using these plates, uh. dont. Use them as decorations or get rid of them immediately.

None of the above.
ARABIA POTTERY, Finland. 1960s RUSKA
Absolutely indestructible. Drop it on the tiles, cracks the tiles.
You can have it in any colour, as long as it’s Brown.
Drop it on your foot, it breaks your foot, but the food remains intact!
Throw it in a volcano, the volcano erupts, but the plate is fine and the food is slightly warmer
Yup.
My grandmother had a set of baking dishes with #4, but my family’s main set was a pattern not listed here.
My folks still have 9. I have a set that’s just blank.
We had Lace Bouquet:
Allegedly the decorated ones from before 2005 have Lead & Cadmium in the paint and Corelle advises that you don’t use those any longer.
You were trusted with fancy ceramics? We just got mass produced plain stuff.
IIRC number 8 had lead or cadmium in the ink
For real. I’m not joking.
My mom got 7,8,9 but my grandma has this, which is actually my favorite
These are Called “Winter Frost White”, no pattern at all. This is what I grew up with and use everyday currently.
I don’t think I remember my family having anything like those, but 7 looks like familiar and a little nostalgic in a way it shouldn’t.
