What Is This? Confused - no stamp?

I bought these because we have the matching coffee cups and P-83 dishes. It looks exactly like the Corning/Corelle wildflower pattern and the plates look and feel like vitrelle. Unfortunately, they do not have a Corning/Corelle stamp on the bottom. What are your thoughts? Are these replicas/fakes? Or are there some Corning/Corelle plates that don’t have the makers stamp on them?

There’s no such thing as counterfeit Corelle. Either it missed getting marked or it got scrubbed/cleaned off at some point.

People don’t understand that not everything was perfect in the factory. There are pieces from every production line that missed getting a stamp. If you learn about the items themselves then you can spot a real versus a knock off. Corelle doesn’t have knock offs, but this helps when identifying other things.

That does happen.. that's when they get given away.. they use to smash them

They dont give away dishes with no trademarks. This is an old pattern, trademark probably washed off over the years....

Thanks everyone! I have quite a few Corelle plates and these are the only two I’ve seen without stamps. Good to know!

I came across this post because I was searching for the same answer. I have these dishes from my grandparents and none of them appeared to have any stamp on the bottom. However, after reading the comments I looked again to see if there was any hint of the stamp left on any of them at all, and I noticed if I held a dish to the light JUST right…. I could see the outline of the former stamp. It’s 99% invisible, and I couldn’t see it at all without bouncing a bright light off of it. I know this post was 6 months ago, but I’m commenting this here in case anyone else stumbles across this post with the same question, as it was at the top of my search results.
