Introduction
Corelle is an American brand of glassware and dishware sold globally. Made of Vitrelle, a tempered glass product consisting of two types of glass laminated into three layers, Corelle was introduced by Corning Glass Works in 1970, and is now manufactured and sold by Corelle Brands.
What to Buy
While the phrase “getting out the good china” is currently being used as an idiom to generally describe the act of hauling out the good quality stuff for special occasions, the literal meaning of the phrase referring to the use of heirloom porcelain china for formal dinners is a rare occurrence due to the fact that most families nowadays have, unfortunately, no china collection handed down to them.
Fortunately, instead of the expensive porcelain china being set at formal dinners, most families now invest in affordable but high-quality alternatives that look similar to china. And Corelle is one of the more reliable, stylish, and popular brands of dinnerware that people worldwide patronize, offering many of the advantages of china without the prohibitive expense.
Launched in 1970 and still proudly manufactured in the same Corning, New York factory to this day; Corelle dishware has been an iconic presence in family homes lasting decades and has been offered in hundreds of different patterns since—with some vintage patterns becoming highly-valued collector’s items!
The secret to Corelle’s success is their proprietary three-layer tempered glass composition developed by Corning called Vitrelle which is fired to an amazingly strong and lustrous finish and mimics the appearance of fine china. Created through a unique process that thermally bonds clear layers of glass to a white or beige glass core, each Corelle piece made through Vitrelle is thin, lightweight, stackable and resistant to chipping, cracking or breaking.
Corelle dinnerware comes in a wide variety of classic and contemporary styles for every taste, mood and season, and you can mix-and-match them to make them your own. Corelle dinnerware is stylish enough to make your table setting Instagram-worthy but also stacks up conveniently in less space than ceramic plates and bowls. It is also non-porous and ultra-hygienic—a safe, healthy choice to keep your food pure and clean. Plus, it’s easy to clear and clean.
Visit Corelle.com to check out their gorgeous Tabletop collection of Dinnerware Sets, Plates, Bowls, Drinkware, Serveware, Flatware, and Tabletop Accessories.
Dinnerware Sets come in services for 4, 6, 8, and 12 people and range in price from $42.00 for a simple white 16-piece set to a $230.00 contemporary Splendor 44-piece dinnerware set.
From savory starters to sweet finishes - and everything in between – Corelle has the right sized and styled Plates to not only set the table, but also set the stage! Ranging in price from a modern paint-swiped $5.50 appetizer dish to a $32.00 6-pack of 10.5” dinner plates, Corelle solid-color and patterned plates and serving platters can be used alone or as a base layer.
Corelle’s collection of Bowlsare as versatile in function as they are diverse in design. From Dip & Condiments and Soup & Cereal to Meals and Serving, these bowls are sized for morning, noon, and night—in colors and styles that will complement any table setting.
