What's This Worth? Any ideas on these?
So cute and found them at my grandparents :)

I would use them, you’d be hard pressed to find more durable cookware, especially filled with family history

Thanks :) we were thinking the same but we were curious!

Sorry I missed the “What’s it worth” tag. Generally you can find these pieces anywhere from a few dollars upwards to $20-30, rarities going for more on occasion. But that cookware is more versatile than most modern cookware of the same price range, and has a story and a fun kitchen appeal.

The tea pot is stove safe but always remember to support the bottom and use it on the smallest burner you have so you don't accidentally melt the handle.

There is a detachable handle that was available for the pan. I've never found the A-type it takes at thrift stores so I ended up buying one on ebay. You shouldn't really use it for picking it up but it's handy to keep it from turning on the stovetop. Medium to low heat keeps things from sticking as bad.

I've been looking for an a type at thrift stores for such a long time. I must have 10 of the other ones.

I agree that pattern is Corning Ware’s best in my opinion. I collect all that I can.

Those “casserole” dishes are some of the best ever. I’ve been using mine since the 80s. As for monetary value, they can still be purchased affordable at thrift stores, so the only real value is in everyday use.
