I also love this pattern, but was sad to come across an article by “Lead Free Mama” on the high levels of lead in the colorful patterns of Corelle pre-2005. I’ve linked the article below. Sadly reading it made me decide to get rid of all my beloved vintage dinnerware. I don’t mean to be a downer, just wanted to spread the word.

When my parents got married, they received that dinnerware as a gift in 1972. More than 50 years have passed, and we still have it. Those green flowers accompanied my childhood. A few days ago, I saw on an Instagram account a cow entering a kitchen and eating off those plates.

We received 10 place settings of Spring Blossom for wedding gifts in 1974. I also have salt and pepper set and butter dish. Serving platter serving dishes and mixing bowls. They still look as good as they did 50 years ago and I have used them every day.

And even though I just found out recently about the lead I plan to continue to use them.

I love them and still have and using the Corningware that we received also.

I love Corelle too! They're light, durable and stacks nicely, taking up little space 🙂

I love the Amalfi collection!
