I-I still have and use those plates....Whaaa like its not just me? Like other people have them?
somethingdark
My family has a Corelle plate set (like everybody else in the world, based on the comments) but ours is blue instead of gold.
bweern
Nope.
miketheowl
Pretty sure my grandparents still use those plates.
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
I've never seen one but they look like Corelle plates. Are they?
Krstnlmr
Corelle is the Nokia of dishware
AziMew
If you didn't have a set you know friends that did
onthe6ball
I'm pretty sure you only aquire these from not returning a relatives plate back after they were nice enough to let you use it for leftovers
arenten
I'm eating off of one right now haha
viviresviajar
My parents had a new set still in the box from their weddings that I recently required as a 25 year old. Thrift stores supplemented the set.
DarkMunkey
I INHERITED A SET OF THESE FROM MY GRANDPARENTS
TrustMeImAMaterialsEngineer
ME TOO!
TripleTripleBaby
These are the Gramma plates, and mugs and bowls. My favourite was boiled dinner with fresh rolls.
Alexeymonk13
Same here. Mine was macaronada with myzithra cheese and browned butter sauce.
thewhyteman
Looks like I showed up to the right party
Neednoggle
What do you mean? Are there, like, other plates?

great grandma's pancake plates :D
dandelionbomb
Mine could make elephants!
CountSnarkula
Ours was blue bordered corelle.
gocartmozart76
So many great meals off of the plates
BabyBear24
My clumsy boyfriend manged to break almost every plate iv ever bought, but these babies are indestructible!
decarnatedame
If the Corelle are broken within 3 years of purchase the company will replace them!
BabyBear24
Update...he broke it
decarnatedame
Murphy's Law!
eyesbetterblknd
A lot of my white friends fam had these. I'm Spanish so that means we had different designs for every plate and bowl.
QueenAmy
Jeff Foxworthy: If you had a whole set of matching salad bowls - and they all said "coolwhip" you might be a redneck
grumpiestoldwoman
Cool wh-ip. Say it right
decarnatedame
Those were our tupperware; for storage, not for eating! :D
AnonEmooses
How did you get my grandma's plates?
madmatt2024
You mean my grandma's plates
AnonEmooses
fight me
LiliMtl
That plate is made for meatloaf, mashed potatoes and niblets.
StephenStrangeMD
Mmm, niblets, just like grandma used to microwave
IncredulousRabbit
My parents refer to these plates as the 'good china'. Mom breaks them out whenever I go home to visit.
ReluctantGeek
That's how you know she loves you.
colieco
My mom requests that these plates be used in lieu of the good china for dishes like microwavable nachos or leftovers.
IncredulousRabbit
We used a lot of Tupperware....only because mom sold it. And we were notorious for using our plates as a frisbee.
ImTheOneWhoTookYourRug
These were the children-fuck-up-nice-things plates we were given when we visited our aunt and uncle on the farm for Thanksgiving.
zealouspilgrim
Corelle Butterfly Gold? My mom is collecting them from second hand stores for my wedding and I don't know how to tell her to stop it.
ReluctantGeek
Have a big, fat Greek wedding and break them to 'celebrate'.
justactlikewedontknoweachother
introduce mom to ebay. I bought a massive set for $80
WoofKeeper
ROFL! Sorry, so sorry.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
① Corelle has always had a huge collector's following. Take the pieces graciously. Pack them. Save them. Sell them when you're 60 years old.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
② Granted, that was a very produced pattern, but they're still worth a bit today and the price will be much higher in 30+ years.
zealouspilgrim
--to be gracious without enabling.
zealouspilgrim
I feel like you think I'm being cutesy when I use the word "hoarder." We're talking psychological-meltdown-hoarder, and I don't know how--
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
There was no (1) in your original comment, which didn't say "hoarder" nor had any implications of hoarding, so I didn't know it was part 1.
zealouspilgrim
You're right! I mixed your comment up with a different one. Sorry about that.
MayTheForceBeWithYou
That sounds like the opposite of a problem
zealouspilgrim
20 berry bowls, and an assortment of larger serving bowls and platters. Plus two complete sets of the matching Pyrex.
crittermom
I collect Pyrex. It's worth good money. However, that's a lot of plates!
zealouspilgrim
Right? But she's kind of a hoarder, and now there are over 250 dinner plates, 150 salad plates, 80 bowls, 50 coffee cups with saucers...
FelixG
Thats going to be worth bank, and would be AMAZING gifts to give away to others. Getting a full set of those from a freind would be killer!
SusanGoGetMyPants
As someone who has sold it on Ebay quite a lot.... I am sooooooo jealous. Shes giving you quite the goldmine.
zealouspilgrim
The butterfly-goldmine, if you will.

We had the plates with a sorta green rim, does that count?

My Nana has those. Smaller pattern?

We have the same ones but with a blue pattern.

Blue rule! I proudly keep mine displayed on my open kitchen shelves. Useful and decorative!
GuatemalanJean
Still have the blue ones :)
difficultdifficultlemondifficult
We have a couple of the blue ones. Hello plate twin!
Gingerfringe
Ah now the blue ones! My parents still have these. :)
gnarwallace
I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE BLUE ONES!! We had green ones though.
crayoncandy
We have the blue! From great grandma. My mom has a lighter blue set and some with a green stripe and a floral center.
IAmTehDave
We had the tan ones, best friend next door had the blue ones.
Actionsyrup
We had both of those!

My grandmother has the blue ones! She the only one I know who owns them!

My Totino's pizza is on a blue one right now!
bzorp
oh my god my grandma has millions of the blue ones
IKilledKennyAndIAmABastard
I WAS THINKING THEY LOOKED FAMILIAR BUT THE WRONG COLOR
tonedeafsidekick
We have the blue ones! I had no idea they were so common. I don't think I've actually run into them elsewhere IRL.
Ivesaidtoomuchalready
Really? I think all 4 sets of my grandparents had a different color but the same thing... I think I have a couple in my cupboard too.
seamorecolors
I also have the blue ones!
christein
The blue ones were for fancy dinners.
Heavyoak
I have both of theses patterns as well.
javatech
I have my grandmother's, mother's and my own. All 6 -8 place servings each.
BeeDragon
I had the blue ones for awhile, inherited them from my grandma. Corelle is the brand.

I like to think you made that years ago, in the hope that it would be relevant one day

ItsMeMello7
THEY COME WITH BOWLS????
AndTHATShowwegetANTS
They came with the BF, who's under age 30. Origin unknown.
MuayThaiwinLannister
WHERE DO THESE COME FROM AND WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY OF THEM

Yah brah?

I have all these too. I didn't realize this was a thing everyone had.

I believe my mother has the cups as well. Has never used them, but she has them.

THE CUPS MY MOM NEVER USED THEM TOO I DONT KNOW WHY
nyintx
Cereal tastes better in those bowls.
CorneliusCornwall
I have the full set too
iliketeapotsbutnottea
I have an 8 piece set, same pattern. Screw being outdated, shit takes a beating and doesn't break.
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
Tell that to marble counters.
imadickbuttnotafaggot
I have a 10 piece set. Up that infuriated.
cantstopthechop
I shit you not. Dropped on of the plates down the steps the other night. Put a dent in my top step.

Show me!!

Are they the ones with the metal core in them?

No. Just quality ceramics.

Sadly, I never had one.
LyricChae
But you remember them?
Jhay2727
I think an entire generation was issued these plates at birth and they keep getting passed down.
tomyironmane
I think my gramma had almost this exact pattern. Corelle plates were almost indestructible. But explosive.
MycolTheFunguy
They were wrapped in these rugs at birth too
ZacMuerte
I have literally never seen these before in my life.
bubblygrumpy
I was supposed to get these plates after my grandparents pass. But , their house burnt down so I don't get them. Still a bit sad,.
MichaelScar
The pattern has been mass produced in recent years, my mom has some of Pyrex with that pattern as well as some cheep China, same pattern
bk222
I had no idea this was a thing. These were 100% the plates of my childhood and my mom still has them
smithsmithson
Fun fact: the symbols on the rim are a cipher for unlocking the secret to immortality
GoobleGobble1ofus
I always saw 2 flowers and a cow head.......anyone?
Jhay2727
You know I was thinking the Illuminati had something to do with them.
scarywaffles97
Is that why my grandmother is 85 and lives like she's 18
NotHarroc
My mom has these but they are blue not brown. What happened?
Sparkmonkey
Pics or it didn't happen.
sdspencerjr
Seriously, how does Corelle make any money!?
tomyironmane
Because they don't chip. They either survive or detonate.
sdspencerjr
Exactly! I dont know anyone whos actually paid for a set. Its always a hand-me-down.
Saaavaaannaaah
My grandma gave me a set when I started college. PROOF: /a/WVyQl
SwitchPusher
I've never actually seen the bowl. +1
acrowsong
But where did she get them? My brother inherited my grandmother's, then broke them with a BBQ gun...
crayoncandy
You can buy new corelle at target
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
Corelle plates are very high quality and you can find them at a lot of retail stores, or their website. Great customer service, too.
Th3Ch33t
I want a BBQ gun...
acrowsong
...wow, I completely missed that. Well, it's been witnessed now, no time for a cover-up.
TheMonsterWithinYou
I've never seen these plates in mylife
hastetheoath5
Well you have not lived. Go find your local neighborhood grandmother and ask for a plate of supper.
FilthyRapscallions
The use of supper used to drive me nuts, as did the word dinner being used to describe lunch. I said nothing!
terithian
Huh, I've never heard "dinner" used for lunch, just it and "supper" used interchangeably.
bubblygrumpy
My grandma uses dinner in place for lunch and supper for dinner. Confused the fuck out of my BF when she invited him over for dinner at noon
FilthyRapscallions
Northern Minnesota, we had breakfast, dinner and supper at my grandparents country place in small town, USA.
