The smaller Corning casserole is in the fridge with leftover pasta in it. Previous Pyrex included the mixing bowl set (in yellow and Orange) and the square/rectangular refrigerator dishes (in blue) but alas they did not survive. The summer after my sophomore year in college I worked for a hardware distributor in a six story warehouse in Seattle’s pioneer square. My job was to take inventory on paper to be checked with the newfangled computer one. They supplied old fashioned stores like Ace Hardwere, so there was a whole section of kitchen ware. They had an area where shipping damage was confirmed and refunds processed. Pyrex/Corning didn’t require the return of pieces of sets, and the distributor allowed employees to buy them at huge discounts. The guy in charge found out that I had just become engaged and let me purchase what I wanted despite not being a permanent employee. So all my Pyrex had small chips that my Dad smoothed out with a file. So mine predate wedding gifts.

I have a few pieces of the white/blue CorningWare many of you have. SOMEWHERE I have that pattern in a percolator! - but no plug. It came from the depths of a storage closet at our cottage - I’m sure H’s parents used it.
These two pieces get used often - I call the small blue one our “pea” dish since I often use it for frozen peas and the yellow one gets used for not so huge batches of scalloped potatoes and ham.
This 3 piece bowl set was a wedding gift that got lost in my moms storage area until she moved in 2005. We were married in 1981 but didn’t start using it till 2005!
