    No way. Really?? Surely it’s the rarer patterns. I’m positive you can still buy those dishes new. My mum’s ones would be from the late 80s at the very earliest.

    e: now I’m reading this article https://www.homestolove.com.au/your-corningware-could-be-worth-thousands-of-dollars-22737 and holy heck my mum definitely has the second one with L’echalote La Marjolaine - so many memories of potato curry in that. I don’t think she has the original lid though.

        I’ve already told my brothers I get first dibs on all her kitchen items. I know there’s a little skillet going back to the 1940s (not that it’s very good, it’s just got a lot of sentimental value - my grandmother owned it). But she always took very good care of her items, I’m sure there’s some classic pyrex dishes in there too.
