Pattern Profile: Woodland Brown (1978)

Launched in 1978, Woodland Brown depicts lush forest foliage in a delicate outlined style.  It also reflects the general trend at the time which strongly favoured brown tones over the harvest gold and avocado green shades from the first half of the decade.  The final year of production for this pattern was 1985. 

The Pyrex Compatibles for Woodland Brown were known officially as simply 'Woodland'.  This product line included items like ovenware and nesting bowl sets, 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 white tops have been noted as well. 

Clear glassware with this pattern printed on a white band has been noted; it may be a Coordinates product by Libbey.  

Termo-Rey opal glass dinnerware was produced by Brasividro.
