Corning Ware Collecting

By , About.com Guide

Corning Ware has been a staple in the American kitchen since the late 1950s. In the sixties and seventies when you got married or started setting up a kitchen you got Corning Ware, it's as simple as that.

And when you think about Corning Ware, the Blue Cornflower design is what typically comes to mind. That design only lasted thirty years, no wonder we all know it!

Well, perhaps they are not hot yet, but they are sought after and selling for more than one might expect. Prices should only go up. Luckily there are enough common pieces to satisfy the casual collector and for those incurable collectors among us -- enough rare ones to make it a fun hunt.
