Many households still have and utilize the 1970s CorningWare dishes, including my own. Well, the classic style Porcelain CorningWare dishes are fetching up to $10,000 on eBay. This means that if you own some currently, you could really be investing in a fortune! Collectors are currently on the hunt for classic CorningWare dishes and are willing to pay big for it.
Glass expert, Dean Six, says, “One piece of CorningWare, in a pattern not widely produced, sold on eBay recently for $US7,000 (AUD$9.8k). It was a 1970s product that fizzled.” Check out one example of a CorningWare dish worth $20k+ here. Another piece is going for $32k!
Your CorningWare dishes could be making you A LOT of money
Dean continues, “Collecting is often what you remember, which is why this is big now because baby boomers are buying back what they grew up with. Boomers are decorating with these pieces in their homes.”

However, not all CorningWare pieces are worth the same amount. Some floral patterns are going for much more than others. The one piece that is still fetching a lot of money, but not as much as others, is the blue floral pattern that is the most common in most households (in the photo above). More rare patterns such as the Wildflower pattern (made from 1977 to 1984) or Floral Bouquet (made from 1971 to 1975) are going for up to $10,000. Dishes that are similar to the one in the photo below are going for $25k here.
CorningWare dishes were known to be a very popular wedding gift back in the ’70s and ’80s. It’s important to note that should you own a full collection of CorningWare dishes instead of just a single item, those could go for a lot more. If you own any CorningWare sets or single items that you don’t mind selling, consider getting it priced out by an antique dealer. You could be setting yourself up for a future with a fortune!

Lynda Meredith says
I have the blue flower dish that I got in 1970 as a wedding present. I still use it a few times a week, 50 years later.Don’t think I would get $7000 for this one
John Smith says
This article is garbage. I can list a penny from 1970 for 1 million on Ebay. The listing this article has listed have not sold which means nothing. If you search for sold listings you will see that a set of 4, you would be lucky to get $100 for them.

Mary JoAnne Jones says
If you read this article realize that the common cornflower white and blue is not bringing huge prices as many below suggest. The rare patterns go for bigger prices. What I can tell eBay might be an option or a bigger city antique dealer. Crushed my dreams as well, there aren’t many get rich by Corning ware options it seems
Michael Maes says
Going for and asking for are two completely different things.
