Pattern Profile: Victorian Lace (1988) 

Victorian Lace, introduced early 1988, was part of the Natural Images product line.  It is an all-white design on beige, and although white had been used before as an accent on many beige-bodied patterns, this was the first one to use no other colour but white.  In Corning's words, this decoration "provides a touch of muted elegance to an everyday dinnerware that may be dressed up for more formal entertaining."  An exact ending date is not known for this pattern, but it does appear to be a short-lived one.

In a 20-piece set, it came with cups & saucers rather than mugs, and the cups are made of stoneware.  Soup/cereal bowls in the Natural Images line are normally coupe and decorated with coloured bands on the rim.  It is not known exactly how Victorian Lace bowls & saucers were decorated, but one or more white bands on the rim seems more likely than a full pattern on the side.  It is uncertain whether luncheon plates, dessert bowls, serving bowls or platters were offered in Victorian Lace.
