Poor kid checking in…I don’t see my Hercules plate on this chart…
Did yours also get fucked up in the microwave but still used for food anyway? That thing’s gotta be at least 50% of the microplastics in my brain.
Herc and Megara went through college with me, moved back into my mom’s with me, through a couple apartments and into my first home before they finally split in half in the dishwasher.
Wait… Was I a poor kid?
I still have the Pegasus plate that says “Hold your horses, dinner’s coming!”
I had a shirt tales plate that probably had lead paint

8, and boy does that bring back memories!
With Oneida Twin Star silverware. I’m 53 and still have a few pieces from my parents set floating around for the nostalgia lol.
Yeah, I still have a few pieces of my mom‘s silverware from when I was growing up. I love using them!

Nobody else got the lil heart flowers?
I had the ring bowls!!!
My parents still have these! Lots of nostalgia there
This but the hearts were mauve.
For real. I’m not joking.
These are Called “Winter Frost White”, no pattern at all. This is what I grew up with and use everyday currently.
My mom got 7,8,9 but my grandma has this, which is actually my favorite
just a PSA for those of you unaware; these plates up until 2004 contained lead paint. If you’re using these plates, uh. dont. Use them as decorations or get rid of them immediately.
Source (check the FAQ for the question about lead)
Came here to say this. I only recently found out and got rid of all my #7’s immediately. I don’t think I’ll accept hand-me-down plates anymore after that.
Do you have a different or specific source? I found an daqnabout lead but it only said that they are in compliance and always have been. I recognize the weasel word but only because you brought it up
There are other sources but the reason I linked corelle directly is because they admit that pre-2000s plates have trace lead amounts. They use weasel wording sure, but it says it.
Are Corelle® products lead-free?
… Corelle was first introduced by Corning over 50 years ago and in 2000 started to be manufactured by the company known today as Instant Brands.
… Before 2000, and before tighter lead content safety regulations, a small amount of lead was an ingredient in the decorating process of many household products.
There are other sources, but most of them are websites ive never heard of. Figured corelle was the easiest source to link. Ill point you towards this one because its closer to what I stated and remembered happening I almost wonder if corell has changed their FAQ because i remember it being more specific at one point in time.
Thanks. I actually hadn’t found that faq. There’s another one about multiple toxic metals, but might not be for Corelle
None of the above.
ARABIA POTTERY, Finland. 1960s RUSKA
Absolutely indestructible. Drop it on the tiles, cracks the tiles.
You can have it in any colour, as long as it’s Brown.
Drop it on your foot, it breaks your foot, but the food remains intact!
Throw it in a volcano, the volcano erupts, but the plate is fine and the food is slightly warmer
Yup.
6! No one else?
6! Is it regional? Do you live in kansas?
No but my mom is originally from Nebraska! Scary close lol
My dad has this one and lives in SW VA. He complains about never finding any matching items in thrift stores to replace some broken ones, but finds plenty of my grandparents (9)
I’m a sucker for blue; 9 might be my favorite. 6 was yet more brown in a house full of brown and yellow. I’m an early 80s baby but my parents held on to the 70s as hard as they could, decor-wise.
5 & 6. Wonder if 6 followed my great-grandmother over from Minnesota?

I forgot my mom even had those dishes.
9 through the 80s & 90s, then my parents graduated to 8 after the remaining 9s broke one by one
Lucky number 7.
7, and my “little” brother still has it 40 years later because he doesn’t want to spend money on dishes
Not American but we used these bad boys:
Solid looking plate where are you from?
