Those corningware dishes are worth $$$$$ these days.
No way. Really?? Surely it's the rarer patterns. I'm positive you can still buy those dishes new. My mum's ones would be from the late 80s at the very earliest.
e: now I'm reading this article https://www.homestolove.com.au/your-corningware-could-be-worth-thousands-of-dollars-22737 and holy heck my mum definitely has the second one with L'echalote La Marjolaine - so many memories of potato curry in that. I don't think she has the original lid though.
You need to raid mum's cupboard.
I've already told my brothers I get first dibs on all her kitchen items. I know there's a little skillet going back to the 1940s (not that it's very good, it's just got a lot of sentimental value - my grandmother owned it). But she always took very good care of her items, I'm sure there's some classic pyrex dishes in there too.
