This week — A pattern for every table 🍲
The curator gathers ten Corning pieces in a celebration of colour and pattern, including Provincial Blue, Floral Bouquet, Abundance & Spice O’ Life, with a touch of French White as a quiet contrast.
This Week’s Feature Pieces
CorningWare Provincial Blue A-5-B Lidded Casserole Delicate blue botanicals on a white Pyroceram body, with its original clear domed glass lid. This 5L casserole carries a Made in France base stamp and remains unused, in mint condition. |
CorningWare Floral Bouquet P-332 Open Roaster Yellow and white flowers with green leaves bring the Floral Bouquet pattern’s flower-power character to this open roaster. A colourful oven-to-table piece with room for a family favourite. |

🔎 Missing a Piece — or Hunting a Treasure?
I source in two directions. Missing a CorningWare lid, plate, or pattern piece? Use the replacement request.
Looking for something beyond the catalogue — artwork, brass pretties, a particular maker, or one very specific treasure? Use the unlisted treasure request.
Custom sourcing is a considered service. If you submit a request, please do so with the intention of purchasing when I find the right piece. That commitment allows me to give your search the attention it deserves, and helps me focus on treasures with a clear place in a considered collection.
📖 From The Vault Journal
Chapter 9: The Believers and the Doubters
This week, I’m grateful to the people in my corporate career who gave me opportunities and trusted my capability. I’m also grateful to those supporting the business I’m building today. Chapter 9 honours those believers, and the self-belief that helps us recognise our own worth.
