That shade of blue is so pretty! Our local antique mall has a few sellers that sell whole sets. I'm always drooling over them. The current set of modern stoneware we have is a ugly to me which is a colorblock of dark taupe grown and black. The set was a gift and we lost several half plates over the years as my toddler was swiping them off the table when he was 2 years old. Some of the plates chipped just from handling. I can't wait to get a whole new set of Corning Ware when the rest of the brown set dies!

My favorite corningware is Centura, only made for a short time. It's not as translucent as Corelle, feels less like glass, and is more substantial, like the ovenware. After that, all the dishes were corelle. I only have a few pieces left.

When my kids were little, I didn't worry about having matching dishes. (Actually I still don't.) Every time we saw a plate we liked, I bought it. The kids had fun picking out which dish they wanted to use. I never had to worry about losing part of a set.

I think my mom had the bakeware in that print (or very similar) with glass lids.

There is an antique co-op close by with a Pyrex room. I found my red bowl there to complete my primary set. I send people there all the time who need a replacement piece.

That green print on some of the mugs looks familiar to me. I feel like we must have had that growing up. In fact, now I am sure we did--I remember the plates. So funny. I have always had Corelle, and I still do, but I also added Juliska Country Estate to our collection.

Corelle is so affordable I can change it out when I get in the mood. My first set I gave to my sister years back and she said that is what they still use. My next set I probably donated, and my current set of Corelle plates is this one below. We use Juliska primarily now, but I keep the Corelle for its functionality and to have extra plates.
