Corelle "Butterfly Gold" Dinner Plate

This item is a vintage Corelle dinner plate, part of the popular "Butterfly Gold" collection. It is crafted from Vitrelle, a durable, lightweight, and chip-resistant glass ceramic material known for its strength and resilience. The plate is circular with a smooth, flat surface in the center for food, surrounded by a slightly raised rim. The dominant color of the plate itself is white or off-white. A distinctive decorative pattern in a golden-brown or mustard yellow hue encircles the rim. This pattern consists of alternating stylized floral motifs and butterfly or scroll-like designs, interspersed with small dots, creating a continuous band around the plate's edge. Observable physical characteristics include its round shape and typical dinner plate size, likely around 10 to 10.5 inches in diameter, though precise measurements are not available from the image. The pattern appears consistently applied and shows no immediate signs of fading or significant wear, which is common for well-preserved Corelle pieces. No specific manufacturing marks or signatures are visible in the provided image, but Corelle products typically bear a mark on the underside. The style period for this pattern is commonly associated with the 1970s, making it a vintage item. The plate appears to be in good overall condition with no visible chips, cracks, or significant scratches, indicating it has been well-maintained or minimally used. The craftsmanship reflects the mass-produced yet highly functional quality characteristic of Corelle dinnerware.
