RARE Stamped Vintage Corning Ware Spice of Life La Romarin Casserole Dish 1970's

#14 RARE & STAMPED - Vintage Corning Ware Spice of Life " La Romarin #14 " P-22-B Casserole Dish 1970's. The Spice of Life CorningWare pattern is a wonder in so many ways. The first is that the iconic design is simply a lineup of red tomatoes, green pepper, artichokes, mushrooms, and spices on a field of herbs. It somehow turns a lazy line of veggies and spices into a bright and cheerful design.

In the earlier "Spice of Life" casserole dishes, you'll find one of three inscriptions just below the veggies. These are French phrases - La Romarin, L'Echalote, and La Marjolaine. For this reason, these earlier "Spice of Life" patterns are often called "French Spice". Also, while the Spice of Life design is the second most-produced CorningWare pattern, it is one of the rarest today. When it comes to vintage products, the fewer products produced at the time, the rarer the products will be later on, and the more valuable they'll be as collectibles.
