The dates and patterns listed for each set are those with a direct or indirect relationship to Corelle. Precise dates for every piece are not known. More specifics can be found in the profile of each pattern. As always, the pieces and patterns listed here are definite confirmed sightings, there may be others too. Ovenware & Nesting Bowls:
-400/300 Round and 440 Cinderella Nesting Bowls are perennial items and were made with Corelle patterns from 1972 until 1986 when the bulk of the opal Pyrex ware was discontinued. However for the 1970s patterns, they disappeared early 1980s. Butterfly Gold and Spring Blossom Green were updated with new colours and designs in 1979.

-943/945 Oval Casseroles may have been there at the beginning and the 943 was last produced in 1979. The 945 was not available after 1978. Initially these had opal decorated lids, but in 1978 they were shown with clear lids for the first time. A 943 holds 1½ quarts, while a 945 has a 2½ quart capacity.
Available Patterns: Butterfly Gold, Snowflake Blue, Spring Blossom Green, Homestead, Woodland, Autumn Harvest.

Available Patterns: Butterfly Gold, Snowflake Blue, Spring Blossom Green.

Available Patterns: Butterfly Gold, Snowflake Blue, Spring Blossom Green, Homestead (Blue & Brown), Woodland, Autumn Harvest.
-024 Round Bottom 2 Qt Casseroles can be found decorated with early Corelle patterns. These are undocumented pieces and it is not known whether they are experimental or promotional, or perhaps even a product that went no further than the test marketing phase.
Available Patterns: Butterfly Gold, Snowflake Blue. (Spring Blossom Green has not been seen yet, but it is a possibility since it is contemporary with these patterns.)

Available patterns: Winter Frost White, Butterfly Gold, Spring Blossom Green, Old Town Blue.
