1981 Package Leaflet - Corelle in Britain
A brochure from a box of Sedgemoor presents most of the patterns that were introduced in the United Kingdom in 1981. Corelle had hit the North American market in 1970 and debuted in France in 1978, but was not available to British consumers until 1981.
 Indian Summer & Windermere. Old Town Blue was known by a different name in Britain.
 Spring Blossom Green & Wildflower.
The warranty card also mentions Sedgemoor and Wild Strawberries, the latter being an alternate name for Strawberry Sunday. Butterfly Gold, Woodland Brown and Winter Frost White also were sold in the UK, but it is not known whether they were also assigned new names.
A sweepstakes contest accompanied the product launch. The five grand prizes were trips for two to a destination of the winner's choice. There were 25 second prizes of microwave ovens and 1250 third prizes of table linens.
