Pattern List - Soup Plates

Flat-rim soup plates were first seen in 1979 with the Dimension IV line.  Although that product line disappeared in the mid 1980s, the soup plate has endured to the present day.  Generally they have been available separately for open-stock purchase, but for some patterns this shape has been included in boxed sets, taking the place of the usual soup/cereal bowl.

Soup plates also appear in the thicker Ultra line, but they are 9 inches in diameter, with slightly different proportions.  The focus of this list is confined to 8½ inch soup plates with the regular Corelle thickness.  There might be even more patterns than those listed below.  Total so far: 93.

(*) - Sandstone background.

(~) - Embossed 3-Swirl shape, no pattern, decorated with coloured band on edge where applicable.  Spring Breeze shares the undecorated Windward White soup plate, since this pattern does not include a coloured band normally.  This is also true of saucers.

* - It is not clear whether this example belongs to Sponge Blue or Blue Hearts.  The central motif from Blue Hearts does not appear on this piece, but the patterned rims of both patterns are practically indistinguishable from each other.  In any case, this item seems to match both patterns equally well.
             
Platter with apple blossom design, official pattern name not known.** - Official pattern name not known.  It is a design of pink apple blossoms, decorated on the centre of the plate, with coloured bands on the rim, one pink and one tan.  It belongs to the Expressions product line.
