Welcome to Corelle Corner!

Corelle has been a familiar sight in kitchens since 1970.  Lightweight, affordable and with unprecedented durability, it was selling faster than it could be produced during its first decade. 

When it was introduced, there had never before been a single dominating brand in the dinnerware market.  At the price point in which Corelle was competing, choices were mainly limited to earthenware and plastics.  Neither of these completely fulfilled consumer's expectations with respect to durability, attractiveness, and versatility of use.

 

With all of Corelle's advantages, plus a two year guarantee, it quickly became a best-seller with sales figures in the millions within months.  For total co-ordination on the tabletop, Pyrex Compatibles were launched in 1972 as an accompaniment for Corelle.
