Poor kid checking in...I don't see my Hercules plate on this chart...

9

7

Nobody else got the lil heart flowers?

For real. I'm not joking.

8, and boy does that bring back memories!

8

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.

6! No one else?

#4

I forgot my mom even had those dishes.

7, and my “little” brother still has it 40 years later because he doesn’t want to spend money on dishes

Lucky number 7.

Not American but we used these bad boys:

One of them with lead paint.

8

9 through the 80s & 90s, then my parents graduated to 8 after the remaining 9s broke one by one

7 all the way

8

8 at home, 7 at grandparents. 4 is also super familiar, but I don’t have a firm memory.

One grandma had 4 and the other had 7. My parents kept a chaotic mix of whatever was on sale.

5

These like from the movie The Bird Cage

My folks still have 9. I have a set that's just blank.

Seven!

My parents had #5; my grandmother had #1, I think. Why were these so ubiquitous?

9 and I still have them

7 & 8, who could afford a matching set?

Patternless. Plain white. Which works well, because if you break a plate you don’t have to worry about whether they still make that pattern.

6 and 7

7

Still have them. Parents gifted a bunch when I moved out

something in-between 5 and 9, don't remember exactly

7

Ha! These look so old. I don't rememb- fuck. 4.

7

Allegedly the decorated ones from before 2005 have Lead & Cadmium in the paint and Corelle advises that you don't use those any longer.

7. Still have a few plates.

I've never seen any of these dishes before.

Where's the category for WinnDixie paper plate patterns?

9, but we had some saucers with 8, I think.

My grandmother had a set of baking dishes with #4, but my family's main set was a pattern not listed here.

7 was my cereal bowl and toast plate.

Damn, I’m a #4, #7 rising and I never knew it

9. Still have a couple that I swiped from my parents.

9 gang represent.

I had "Country Cornflower".

I also saw a bunch of #4 somewhere. It was either at one set of grandparents', or one of my friends' houses.

Mom actually still has the pictured kind, still being used to this day. I was there just last week and there was some of it still drying in the dishwasher. I stole a few plates and bowls when I left, and it's still the only glassware I've ever really used more than a couple times. I'm not particularly find of it, but I have these pieces and I don't give a fuck what it looks like if it works.

At least it doesn't have Jesus on it or something. I would draw the line at that.

We had Lace Bouquet:

plain white

I don't think I remember my family having anything like those, but 7 looks like familiar and a little nostalgic in a way it shouldn't.

Is it weird that I have no memory of what tableware we used? Most of my childhood is missing from my memory actually.

Indian here! We have steel.
But given how common crockery or similarly decorated plastic is for serving guests (at parties and wherever-not), I've seen all of them.

9 and I love it!

Blue and white Jingdezhen Dragon Rice Bowls.

None of the above. We had Geometric.

No I don't know why my parents chose it.

4 here too

Lol 7&8. Nothing broke like those plates.

7

Whos mom didn't have a #4 dish in their cabinets somewhere?

7 and 9

IIRC number 8 had lead or cadmium in the ink

Grandparents had #8, we had #9.

I had a great aunt that worked for Syracuse China, which during the mid-20th century was one of the largest suppliers of fine China to hotels and restaurants. Whenever someone in the family got married, they got a full set of fine expensive Syracuse China. Most family members also bought a cheaper set for daily use. So I never had Corelle as a kid.

Today, after all these years, the grandkids all have their own set, passed down from older generations, and my mom still has about 4 full sets she's inherited over the years. Anytime someone visits by car, she tries to convince them to take a set. They are beautiful antique china, but who needs fine China these days?

Before anyone suggests selling it, nobody is buying, and even the china brokers are backing off and buying much much less. The fine china market is glutted, and pretty much dead, even for excellent collections like ours.

9 5

3

Gram had #4

7 and my great gma had 5.

Edit: so a ton of ya"ll had 7? Who knew...
