Corelle Traditions Blue Flowers Coffee Pot / Teapot with Lid
Corelle (Corning Glass Works) · Kitchenware > Serving Pieces
Era / Decade
1990s (based on floral pattern style and the specific 'Blue Flowers' motif produced during this period)
Material
Vitrelle glass-ceramic (heat-resistant, break-resistant glass) with a plastic-like or ceramic-coated finish typical of Corelle accessories.
Condition
Good. The piece shows visible shelf wear and surface smudging or dirt that needs cleaning. There are no major chips visible on the spout or handle, but some light scuffing is present on the body and lid knob.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a steady market for people looking to replace broken pieces in their daily-use sets, but it is not a high-hype collector's item.

Description
Vintage Corelle Vitrelle coffee/teapot featuring the 'Blue Flowers' pattern. This tall, elegant server includes the original matching lid. Features a white base color with delicate blue floral sprays around the middle and a blue ring accent on the lid knob and rim. Durable, lightweight, and chip-resistant design typical of the Corelle brand.
Key Features
Matching pattern for existing Corelle sets; durable Vitrelle material; discontinued vintage pattern which appeals to replacement buyers; lightweight and iconic mid-to-late 20th-century design.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern matches the established 'Blue Flowers' Corelle/Corning line exactly; the unique shape of the handle and spout is consistent with Corning production carafes. Confidence level: High.
Flaws to Note
Visible dark scuffs/smudges on the side that may require a scrub with Barkeepers Friend; surface dirt on the lid; potential for minor 'flea bite' nicks around the inner rim of the lid (common in this material).
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for replacement pieces due to global searchability), Etsy (if marketed as vintage kitchen decor), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile items).
Selling Tips
Photograph the bottom stamp if present (though many carafes are unmarked, the pattern is the key). Clean thoroughly to remove the grey storage scuffs before photographing. Use keywords such as 'Replacement', 'Discontinued', and 'Vitrelle'. Pack with extra bubble wrap as the spout is a high-breakage point during shipping.
