I found this pic from a couple of years ago. Got rid of the set when we sold our parents' house.

These. My parents got them as a wedding present (1979). We slowly broke all them, today they only have three dinner plates and nothing else. I once found a massive set in a thrift shop while on vacation and I nearly bought them but it would have been an insane shipping cost to get them home. I kind of regret I didn’t do it, though.

HotTubSexVirgin22@reddit

Still have one in use today.

LetsBeginwithFritos@reddit

This was our first set. Several family members saved and got me a whole set. Never loved them but they did the trick. Otherwise we would have had 2 plates and plastic cups.

These were the dishes my mom bought after she and my dad divorced (1986/87).

Twas a bit weird to see my dad's affair partner turned new wife have the same dishes at their house 🥀😀 I never said a word about it.

I’ve never seen those plates in my life. These were the Corelle plates I saw.

[-]

osddelerious@reddit

Yep!

[-]

fearless-penguin@reddit

I STILL have and use daily those plates. The pattern is Golden Butterfly.

[-]

DirtRight9309@reddit

you are probably safe because it’s on the border but they did find that up to a certain year these do contain lead. i had a bunch of old corelle and i got rid of anything that had a pattern in the middle. if i had kids i definitely wouldn’t use any of it anymore.

[-]

fearless-penguin@reddit

Well damn… not particularly what I wanted to hear… but thanks for the info.

SailNW@reddit

This was the set at my Grandma's house for my entire life.

[-]

queenofcaffeine76@reddit

We had something similar to the flower plates and also had some of these. Never had a complete set of anything lol

[-]

LegitimateFeeling693@reddit

Right! Like why did my mother only have 1 big plate and maybe 1 bowl? She also had Cool Whip bowls too, so 🤷🏼‍♀️That nonsense bugged me so much that I have an extra, still-boxed, set of my dishes, so I’ll always have a full set even if a few break.

My grandmother had Corelle Butterfly Gold. My mother had these (I still have a few pieces):

Ha, it’s actually a Lost reference, but totally applicable here!

[-]

idle_isomorph@reddit

Wow, i had both OP's and these. Hadnt thought about them in years. What a flashback, though!

[-]

f4ttyKathy@reddit

My cat still uses the bowl :) I love this set!

[-]

RabbitNumber8@reddit

I don’t know what became of ours, which is now making me sad. I can still feel the bowl in my hands.

[-]

f4ttyKathy@reddit

If it makes you feel any better, the bowl especially is a very common find at flea markets/antique stalls. I could have replaced mine a few times over in the last 10 or so years of antiquing. So you could find a replacement :)

[-]

DirtRight9309@reddit

someone i know has that pattern but i cannot place who! maybe my uncle in Colorado because they don’t have Safeway where i grew up

we were a Corelle Butterfly Gold family

fenwoods@reddit

Pfaltzggraff — Yorktowne pattern.

My parents tried foisting off on me so much old crap I had no interest in, but then donated my beloved Pfaltzgraff to a church rummage sale without a second thought.

That was 20 years ago and I still haven’t forgiven them.

[-]

shortergirl06@reddit

They absolutely don't hold up to the dishwasher. The remaining ones we have are crazed to hell and back.

[-]

Aardet@reddit

This one was ours — still in daily use in my childhood home

[-]

[-]

Haven@reddit

I love those! I’ve been collected any and all scalloped edge plates like these I find at thrift stores!

[-]

theluzah@reddit

You guys had other plates than these? Fancy!

[-]

Servilefunctions218@reddit

Did anybody else have these plates? My grandparents had the gold butterfly Corelle, but my mom had these “Aztec” design made in Japan.

[-]

RabbitNumber8@reddit

Oh, I found our Corelle!

[-]

delphine1041@reddit

All you fancy bitches with your glass and stoneware dishes. We rocked the melmac in our spot. Just don't put them in the microwave!

[-]

PeanutbutterDaydream@reddit

Arcoroc Canterbury Crocus Floral Clear Glass, I remember my set also having matching coffee mugs. The texture on these were so bizarre.

[-]

f4ttyKathy@reddit

The small ones were our salad plates at dinner! Damn I wonder if my mom still has this set

[-]

Letsgogehls@reddit

We had 2 sets. I could only find this one.

When my mom redecorated the kitchen from blue w ducks as the border wall paper to green ivy border and a hunter green, cranberry theme.

She also changed out the corelle to a set that had green and pink checks on the border. If anyone knows which set I’m talking about please post a pic!!

[-]

ThatFalafelGirl@reddit

No corelle, these were our only plates

[-]

Letsgogehls@reddit

Then my mom redecorated to hunter green and cranberry and she changed up the corelle to these

[-]

TikiTikiGirl@reddit

We had these too! Likely also from Safeway (Canada). But we did not have Corelle. I don't know the name of the other two patterns we had, but one was stoneware with a blue-gray floral pattern, and the other was more porcelain with a white background and a black line-drawing floral pattern.
