Corning Ware Spice of Life 2 Quart Casserole Dish w/ Pyrex Lid

This is a vintage CorningWare casserole dish in the "La Marjolaine" pattern, a specific variant within the popular "Spice of Life" (also known as French Spice) collection. It comes with the corresponding Pyrex Lid A-9-C. The "Spice of Life" line was introduced in 1972 and remained in production until the late 1980s. This specific design features earth-toned illustrations of vegetables like artichokes, mushrooms, and tomatoes. The "La Marjolaine" (marjoram) script below the pattern is characteristic of earlier pieces in this line. The base is made of Pyroceram, a durable glass-ceramic material that can withstand extreme temperature changes, allowing it to go directly from the freezer to the oven or stovetop. It is a 2-quart capacity dish, model number A-2-B. Produced in the 1970s, this pattern is highly desirable among kitchen collectible enthusiasts. This is a preowned item and has some scratches inside the dish as shown in the photos. Pickup is 58th and 7th Ave in midtown Manhattan.
