Description
This is a beautiful mixed set of Corelle Vitrelle dinnerware in the popular 'Abundance' pattern. The design features a rimmed border of red apples, yellow blossoms, and green leaves with scattered berries on a white background. This collection includes 1 large dinner plate, 3 salad/lunch plates, 2 cereal/serving bowls, and 1 small condiment/custard bowl. Durable, lightweight, and perfect for a vintage-style farmhouse or cottagecore kitchen.
Key Features
Vitrelle glass is highly sought after for being break-resistant and space-saving. The 'Abundance' pattern is a classic 90s harvest aesthetic that fits current 'Grandmacore' and cottagecore trends.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Authenticity can be confirmed by looking at the bottom of the plates; they should have a stamped 'Corelle by Corning' or 'Corelle' mark with 'Made in USA.'
Flaws to Note
Check for 'silvering' (grey utensil marks) on the white centers and 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the edges. Also check for fading of the apple decals due to high-heat dishwasher use.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching collectors looking for specific replacement pieces), Etsy (good for vintage home decor shoppers), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid high shipping costs and breakage risks).
Selling Tips
Photograph the backstamps to prove authenticity. Use keywords like 'Vitrelle,' 'Harvest Decor,' 'Replacement Pieces,' and 'Cottagecore.' Pack extremely well with plenty of bubble wrap if shipping—though thin, glass can still shatter under pressure.
