<p>[QUOTE="lvetterli, post: 9880770, member: 130"]Corning Ware is one of the staples in my booths. Before I was in malls , I sold it at flea markets. I can tell you for certain the ebay Corningware Cornflower sales of a single casserole over maybe $60 are shill sales or "fake" sales. People have been trying mightily to drive the selling prices up on Corningware for some time. The 5 quart Dutch Oven is the largest Cornflower casserole and it sells from $40 to max $60. Prices are definitely dependent on condition. Wear (that penetrates the surface and exposes the cream colored base material), chips, burnt on grease, heavy scratching and incorrect or damaged lid will definitely affect the price. I have a 1 1/2 quart Cornflower casserole in a mall prices at $28, a 2 1/2 would probably be about $35, dependent on condition. </p><p><br /></p><p>The lids are usually marked Pyrex.
