9, but we had some saucers with 8, I think.
Screw your zodiac sign, tell me...

With Oneida Twin Star silverware. I’m 53 and still have a few pieces from my parents set floating around for the nostalgia lol.

One grandma had 4 and the other had 7. My parents kept a chaotic mix of whatever was on sale.
proudblond@lemmy.world 6 months ago
6! No one else?
Seleni@lemmy.world 6 months ago
5 & 6. Wonder if 6 followed my great-grandmother over from Minnesota?
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
6! Is it regional? Do you live in kansas?
proudblond@lemmy.world 6 months ago
No but my mom is originally from Nebraska! Scary close lol

Are those from the US? Never seen any of them. My sauerkraut got served on this badboy growing up:

Yea, Corelle is glass dish ware made in Corning, NY. The same place they make Pyrex and Gorilla Glass phone screens.
exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
It was just a dominant brand of dishware in the U.S.
Corning, one of the world leaders in glass manufacturing and materials science, figured out how to make thin tempered glass that was lightweight, very durable, resistant to thermal shock, and safe to use in microwaves, dishwashers, and up to medium temperature ovens (350°F/175°C is the manufacturer recommended max). It became the dominant dishware brand in the U.S. as a result, for “everyday” use.
Personally I don’t like the heat transfer characteristics (poor insulator which means hot food makes the dish hot to the touch) and don’t mind thicker plates/bowls for most situations. But I can see why they became immensely popular, especially for families with kids.
Side note, Corning spun off its consumer products division in 1991, so the company that makes the Gorilla Glass in basically everyone’s cell phones is now technically different from the company that made all these kitchen dishes, even if they were once part of the same corporation.

Yeah, unfortunately even the fediverse suffers from a heavy dose of US defaultism.
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 6 months ago
Honestly I don’t even notice it. Virtually every online space I’ve ever been a part of has been like this. Originally the Yanks never asked for everyone to learn English and use their platforms either so it’s kinda fair enough as far as I’m concerned.
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 months ago
I’ve got more people assuming I’m an American here than I ever did on Reddit. I think a specific of type of online leftists just assumes you’re from the US if you don’t agree with them, because of course there’s the countries they support and then there’s the US and nobody else lol
JargonWagon@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I think delftware isn’t as popular in the US, which is unfortunate because I love how they look.

A bit more coppery coloured, I think.

Herc and Megara went through college with me, moved back into my mom’s with me, through a couple apartments and into my first home before they finally split in half in the dishwasher.
Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
Did yours also get fucked up in the microwave but still used for food anyway? That thing’s gotta be at least 50% of the microplastics in my brain.
dave881@lemmy.world 6 months ago

Still have them. Parents gifted a bunch when I moved out
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
