Pattern Profile: Woodland Brown (1978)
Launched in 1978, Woodland Brown reflects the trend toward brown tones at a time when harvest gold and avocado green were becoming outdated. The final year of production for this pattern was 1985.
Pyrex Compatibles were officially named Woodland rather than Woodland Brown. This product line included items like ovenware & nesting bowls, as well as Tabletop Ware accessories.

Others:
Manufacturers other than Corning produced their own versions of Woodland Brown. The majority of these are unofficial products and close comparison with the genuine Corelle pattern will reveal variations in the design.
Most notably, Gemco produced many popular tabletop accessories in their 'Matchables' product line. It seems that none of Gemco's 'Woodland Brown' pieces have chrome tops; most have chocolate brown plastic tops, and some with white tops also exist.
There is glassware with this pattern printed on a white band; it might be a Coordinates product by Libbey.
Termo-Rey opal glass dinnerware was produced by Brasividro.
