Corning Ware Profile: Designer Casseroles (1977)

2½ Qt Designer Casserole in Meadow.

Corning Ware Designer Casseroles co-ordinate with the first four Corelle Expressions patterns: April, Blue Heather, Indian Summer, Meadow, and they also came in White.  The 1½ Qt size is more shallow than the 2½ Qt, but they have the same diameter at the top.  So both sizes use the same Pyrex lid, marked "DC 1 1/2-C".  The wide tab handles are incompatible with detachable Corning Ware handles.

Underside of tab handle.

Also appearing during the late 1970s, the French White product line's shape is derived from these casseroles, and an F-6-B (1.8 L) and F-2-B (2.8 L) in French White are equivalent to DC-1 1/2-B and DC-2 1/2-B in the Designer series.  Both French White casseroles also share this same lid.

Not perfectly oval, it is more of a rounded rectangle, strictly speaking.
