So this is safe?!
Yes
Tamara,
Hi would the entire set then be safe?
Oh thank goodness – this dish has been my partners favorite for years and when I saw it on your site I was so worried for them since I thought it was vintage from the pattern. What a relief that it’s new and heavy metal free! Now I just need to test all my painted plates haha
I have some dishes with this pattern. I don’t know how old they are. I have not recently purchased them. Are they unsafe?
I haven’t yet tested the vintage ones with this pattern – sorry. If they might be older than 2005 then they are likely leaded. Here’s an example with a similar color pallet:

I have a complete set of this pattern as pictured above. If it is the same pattern, should it be good? Or did they make this pattern years ago also. I am not sure when I purchased these.
thank you!
They remade this pattern for the 100th anniversary
Have you, by chance, tested any of Corelle’s Blue Fleur? It’s a vintage design, but it has a scalloped shape. I’m wondering if they were possibly painted/manufactured differently. If you would like to test one, I have several of the mugs and saucers I’d be happy to send you.
Is it safe to eat food from just the non painted portion of the Corelle plates made before 2005?
Also, what about the older non painted Corelle plates?
