Corelle Profile: Provincial Blue (1992)
Dating to early 1992, Provincial Blue is the first Livingware pattern to be patterned across the centre of the plate as well as on the rim. It was described as having an "overall plate design of delicate blue florets". Although it is officially stated that Provincial Blue is discontinued, it is still in production and can be purchased at factory outlet stores.
Provincial Blue: soup plate, 7¼" side plate, luncheon plate.
Initially, it was offered only in large 33-piece sets with eight place settings and one platter, but one year later it appeared in 16-piece sets. At that time, it came with straight-sided mugs made of Suprema glass-ceramic, but by the mid to late 1990s flared Suprema mugs were provided instead. After 1998, boxed sets contained solid blue stoneware mugs, and by the late 2000s, some sets included small stoneware cups paired with saucers.
28 oz deep bowl, 9½" oval plate, rimmed.
Bowls, saucers and platters are decorated with a pattern rather than a coloured band. A 2 Qt serving bowl might not exist in Provincial Blue, but some uncommon shapes were available, including: coupe 7¼" side plate, oval 9½" plate, soup plate, pie plate, and deep bowls in 12 oz & 28 oz sizes.
Provincial Blue Corning Ware casserole, 1.5 L.
A selection of square Corning Ware casseroles matches Provincial Blue in capacities ranging from 1.0 L (1 Qt) to 5.0 L (5 Qt), plus a 12¼" roaster with handles. There might be other sizes too.
A different selection of Provincial Blue is decorated overseas for other markets and it is possible to find many non-standard Corelle items in this pattern. These include: divided plates, rimmed 4 oz bowl, shallow 8½" coupe bowl, and square shapes, among others.
