I bought this set in the late 1980's or early 1990's. I can't remember the exact year. It was purchased at Zellers Canada and there were several other pieces of kitchenware available in the same pattern such as metal containers with plastic lids, metal kettle, quiche dish, divided dish, oven mitts etc. The stamp under the handle is Corning Ware - two words. I've done hours of searching online and can't find this pattern anywhere. Hoping someone can identify or lead me to someone knowledgable.

Before 1998 the words Corning Ware were stamped ( separated) my guess is that this was a promo pattern probably Canadian generated. In the 90s they did alot of flower based patterns but some reason I cannot find yours.
It's still listable as casserole dishes but please refrain from using the word Rare, there are only a few Corningware pieces that fall into that category and most are MCM. Here's a site I found that may give you a lead

Good luck on this search!

Thanks for your reply. I've already searched that site and the pattern is not there.

Thanks for your reply. I've already searched that site too and the pattern isn't there. To me, it looks like lilies but a search using lily or pink and gray doesn't come up with anything either. I even found a woman on Youtube who's a self proclaimed expert. Her website doesn't accept Canadian traffic and when I wrote via Youtube she said she does identification and valuations but didn't even bother responding once I told her I was in Canada. I found it very odd.

I thought they were orchids.

You should also say for display only due to the manufacturer saying made before 2005 is a lead hazard.

I m one of the admin af a facebook (Corningware Nuts). group that has been looking to name this also. the best we were able to do( since even the box the pair came was nameless) was to name it "Cattleya" after a metal pot with the same pattern. I'm not allowed to post pictures here, but this is the FB link will show you the pot https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=10228669309347183&set=pcb.5220414611327804

... and we have about 300 international patterns (most with names) in one of the group albums.
