History

More than 40 years ago, R&D scientists at Corning Glass Works developed a special hub lamination process that thermally bonds three layers of glass—a core center surrounded by top and bottom layers of “skin” or “glaze” glass. The glass was decorated using unique enamels that actually became a part of the glass, creating durable, scratch-resistant designs. The result? Corelle^® glass dinnerware, today known worldwide for its legendary strength and durability.

First introduced to consumers in 1970, Corelle® was the first brand of glass dinnerware to meet a variety of consumer demands through features that included:

• Dishwasher and oven safe
• Break-, chip-, and fade-resistant under normal use
• Lightweight, yet durable
• Easy to clean
• Affordable, yet attractive At the same time,

Corelle^® offered two revolutionary guarantees to consumers. First, the brand promised to replace any dinnerware that broke, chipped, stained or cracked within the first two years of normal use, without requiring proof of purchase. Second, Corelle^® committed to pattern continuity—a feature extremely important to consumers. Even today, Corelle^® tests and refreshes its design portfolio based on extensive consumer research.

During its first decade, Corelle^® glass dinnerware was virtually sold out—even before it was made. Within 18 months after Corelle® was first placed on sale, more than 40 million pieces had been sold – an unprecedented record.

Today it is estimated that nearly half of all households have Corelle^® break- and chip-resistant dinnerware in their kitchens. To find a design that is right for you and your kitchen, visit Corelle’s Find My Style Showroom
