Rare Vintage 1960’s Corning Ware Spice of Life 4 qt Casserole Dish. The Spice of Life CorningWare pattern is a wonder in so many ways. The first is that the iconic design is simply a lineup of red tomatoes, green pepper, artichokes, mushrooms and spices on a field of herbs. It somehow turns a lazy line of veggies and spices into a bright and cheerful design. In the earlier Spice of Life casserole dishes, you will find one of three inscriptions just below the veggies. These are French phrases – La Romarin, L’Echalote, and La Marjolaine. For this reason, these earlier “Spice of Life” patterns are often called French Spice. While the Spice of Life design is the 2nd most produced CorningWare pattern, it is one of the rarest today. When it comes to vintage products, the fewer products produced at the time, the rarer the products will be later on, and the more valuable they will be as collectibles. Well, the Spice of Life shatters that narrative. While it’s the 2nd most produced pattern, it’s arguably the most valuable CorningWare pattern today. This beautiful 4 quart casserole dish is used and is in very good condition considering it’s age. This dish just sparkles in the light and it’s beautiful. This casserole dish is one of the largest I have seen, holding 4 qts. It measures 10×10 inches and is 3.5 inches deep. The markings on the bottom of the dish read A-84-B. The lid has the number C20 on the lip on one side and then on the opposite side of the lid it has A12 C on it. I have taken close up pictures of the markings on both the lid and the dish. Very good condition No chips, cracks, and or repairs. This casserole dish is c 1960 Perfect for any collector of vintage CorningWare.
