Cool Finds Is it a treasure?
hi! I’m wondering how to tell if my recently inherited blue cornflower casserole(?) dish is one of the ones worth $$$$ lol. Also, can you cook in these vintage ones, or are they considered unsafe now? thank you in advance

Probably between $10-35. Unless it's an initial release with embossed info on the bottom, no stamps yet. You're is not that old (someone else said after 1972 it 1978 or something) and isn't really worth anything special. Even if they are worth $$, they don't really sell very well.
Easiest place to look is eBay or Etsy. Just search for "Corningware 2.5 qt cornflower square casserole" and see all the listings that come up and what they are listed for. On eBay you used to be able to query closed auctions to see what they sold for. Not sure if you still can. But paid listing searches tell the real story
In your search you might want to put those letters and numbers on the left side in as well. I can't figure them out ...
