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.
Screw your zodiac sign, tell me...

So, instead of the unique astrological profile, nor even the mere sun sign for a mere 1 in 12 division, we’re now to discern more about us each, from just 10 different patterns on plates? Oh yes, that’ll be much better. My whole family are exactly alike. The plates don’t lie. :3

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.

None of the above.

Absolutely indestructible. Drop it on the tiles, cracks the tiles.
You can have it in any colour, as long as it’s Brown.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Drop it on your foot, it breaks your foot, but the food remains intact!
Honytawk@feddit.nl 6 months ago
Throw it in a volcano, the volcano erupts, but the plate is fine and the food is slightly warmer
vk6flab@lemmy.radio 6 months ago
Yup.

My grandmother had a set of baking dishes with #4, but my family’s main set was a pattern not listed here.
digger@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
My folks still have 9. I have a set that’s just blank.

Zomg@piefed.world 6 months ago
Whos mom didn't have a #4 dish in their cabinets somewhere?
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
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.
oppy1984@lemdro.id 6 months ago
Grandparents had #8, we had #9.

These are Called "Winter Frost White", no pattern at all.
This is what I grew up with and use everyday currently.

In the 80s and 90s my parents had #9 Old Town Blue, and my grandparents had #5 Woodland Brown. I still do, actually, I have a cupboard full of both and Butterfly Gold as well. Best dishes.
Broadfern@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Mine were somewhere between 1 and 5. They had like orangey flowers but blue decoration lines I think?

We had mostly 8s, but somehow a few 4s got added in. Here I am now, 30-ish years later, and my roommate has 4s in her kitchen, too.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’ve never seen any of these dishes before.

- Still have a couple that I swiped from my parents.

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.
Source (check the FAQ for the question about lead)
AA5B@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Do you have a different or specific source? I found an daqnabout lead but it only said that they are in compliance and always have been. I recognize the weasel word but only because you brought it up
Turret3857@infosec.pub 6 months ago
There are other sources but the reason I linked corelle directly is because they admit that pre-2000s plates have trace lead amounts. They use weasel wording sure, but it says it.
Are Corelle® products lead-free?
… Corelle was first introduced by Corning over 50 years ago and in 2000 started to be manufactured by the company known today as Instant Brands.
… Before 2000, and before tighter lead content safety regulations, a small amount of lead was an ingredient in the decorating process of many household products.
There are other sources, but most of them are websites ive never heard of. Figured corelle was the easiest source to link.

Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7’s immediately. I don’t think I’ll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.
