Timeless elegance

Vitrelle is Corelle's proprietary three-layer laminated glass material. The unique construction bonds two outer layers of glass to a strong inner glass core, creating dinnerware that's lightweight yet incredibly durable. This technology was developed by Corning Glass Works and has been perfected over 50+ years.

Yes! All Corelle dinnerware is completely microwave-safe and top-rack dishwasher safe. You can also use it in conventional ovens up to 350°F (177°C). However, avoid direct broiler use, stovetop heating, or sudden temperature changes.

Corelle is significantly more durable than traditional ceramic or porcelain. The Vitrelle glass construction makes it resistant to chipping, cracking, and breaking under normal use. It's backed by a 3-year warranty against breaking and chipping. In independent tests, Corelle has shown to withstand drops from counter height without damage.

While Corelle is highly break-resistant, no glass product is completely unbreakable. When dropped on hard surfaces or subjected to extreme stress, Corelle can break. When it does break, it tends to break into smaller pieces rather than sharp shards like traditional ceramics. Always use caution and avoid dropping your dinnerware.

Corelle is easy to care for: simply wash by hand or in the dishwasher. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the surface. Don't stack items roughly, and avoid extreme temperature changes (like putting a hot dish directly into cold water). With proper care, your Corelle can last for decades.

While both brands originated from Corning Glass Works, they serve different purposes. Corelle is dinnerware (plates, bowls, mugs) made from Vitrelle glass for everyday dining. Corningware is cookware (baking dishes, casseroles) made from Pyroceram glass-ceramic designed for cooking and baking. They complement each other perfectly in the kitchen!

Yes, absolutely. All Corelle products are 100% lead-free and cadmium-free. The non-porous Vitrelle surface doesn't absorb food odors, flavors, or bacteria, making it completely hygienic and food-safe. Corelle meets or exceeds all FDA regulations for food contact materials.

Corelle offers a unique combination of benefits: it's 40% lighter than ceramic, extremely durable with a 3-year warranty, space-saving with compact stacking, 100% hygienic, and comes in hundreds of patterns from classic to contemporary. Plus, you're buying from America's most trusted dinnerware brand with over 50 years of proven quality.
