Corelle Profile: Cranberry Blossom, Delicate Trio (1989) 

Cranberry Blossom & Delicate Trio debuted together in early 1989.  They belong to the Natural Images product line, with a standard rimmed plate style and beige background.  In 20-piece sets, both patterns came with cups & saucers rather than mugs, and the cups are made of stoneware.  Matching soup/cereal bowls have a coupe shape.

Bowls & saucers for Cranberry Blossom are decorated with two coloured bands, one red and one pink, spaced almost ½" apart.  Delicate Trio bowls have one green band and one pink one, close together.  Saucers are decorated with a single green scalloped band which matches the trim on Delicate Trio plates.  It is uncertain whether luncheon plates, dessert bowls, serving bowls or platters were offered in either pattern.

Cranberry Blossom was available for about two years, but its exact ending date is not known.  Delicate Trio was discontinued within one year of its introduction.
