Corelle has produced green flower patterns across more than five decades, and the category contains more variety and more complexities than most guides acknowledge.
The most iconic green flower design, Spring Blossom Green, is simultaneously one of the most collected vintage Corelle patterns and one of the most lead-tested pieces in independent consumer safety research.
A current reissue of the same pattern is now available on the company’s website, made to modern lead-free standards. If you are planning on shopping for “green flower Corelle” in 2025 need to know which version they are actually looking at.
This guide maps every significant Corelle green flower pattern — vintage and current — explains the safety picture for each clearly, and tells you exactly how to find what you are looking for, whether you want a new set or a vintage one.
The Landscape of Corelle Green Flower Patterns
Green floral designs appear throughout Corelle’s production history from 1970 to the present day, across multiple distinct visual styles.
They fall into three broad categories: the graphic, single-color green daisy patterns of the 1970s; the more naturalistic multi-element botanical patterns of the 1980s and 1990s; and the contemporary green-accented illustrated patterns of the 2000s onward.
Understanding which category a pattern belongs to immediately narrows the production era, the safety profile, and the secondary market availability.
Spring Blossom Green (Crazy Daisy) — The Definitive Green Flower Corelle
Spring Blossom Green is the pattern that defines “Corelle dishes with green flowers” in the mind of anyone who grew up in a 1970s American kitchen.
It is the most recognized, most collected, and most discussed Corelle green flower pattern, and because of independent lead safety testing, it is also the most documented for safety concerns.
The Original Pattern: 1970–1988
Spring Blossom Green was introduced in 1970, alongside the Corelle brand’s launch, and was produced in two distinct versions.
The first iteration ran from 1972 to 1979; the second, from 1979 to approximately 1981, on the Pyrex coordinating line, with the Corelle dinnerware itself continuing through 1986 and, in some sources, cited as late as 1988.
- Extra strength Vitrelle: our unique, triple-layer glass technology stands the test of time
- Eco-friendly: made from up to 80% pre-consumer recycled glass
- Durable and versatile: dishwasher, microwave, freezer and pre-heated oven (to 350° F) safe
The design features small stylized daisy-like flowers arranged as a repeating border around the rim of white Vitrelle glass plates and bowls.
The flowers are flat, graphic, dark green — not naturalistic — with some rendered as solid filled shapes and others as outlined forms, a distinction that varies between the two production iterations and helps collectors date specific pieces.
The “Crazy Daisy” Name
The pattern is widely known by the collector nickname “Crazy Daisy,” but this name was never used by Corelle in its official marketing.
It emerged organically among buyers and collectors who found the whimsical, densely packed daisy arrangement somewhat frenetic in character.
Corelle’s official name has always been Spring Blossom Green. This matters practically: searching for “Crazy Daisy Corelle” on secondary market platforms like eBay and Etsy will find the vintage pattern; searching on corelle.com will find the current reissue (covered below).
The two are different products, and the name difference is the first signal of which one you are looking at.
The Pyrex Coordination
One of the features that distinguishes Spring Blossom Green from other Corelle patterns is the existence of a complete coordinating Pyrex line in the same design — mixing bowls, casserole sets, refrigerator containers, butter dishes, salt and pepper shakers, and tumblers, all decorated with the matching Spring Blossom Green motif.
This coordinating ecosystem makes Spring Blossom Green a far richer collecting category than most Corelle patterns, with buyers building complete vintage kitchen sets across both the Corelle dinnerware and the Pyrex bakeware.
It also means that lead safety testing has been conducted not just on the Corelle plates and bowls but on the Pyrex pieces, where lead readings in the green decoration were documented at dramatically higher levels than on the flat Corelle plates.
The Lead Safety Picture for Vintage Spring Blossom Green
This is the most important section for anyone using vintage Spring Blossom Green for daily meals, and the one that most guides either omit or address without the specific figures.
Independent XRF testing conducted by lead safety researcher Tamara Rubin — whose methodology uses the same instrumentation employed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission — documented the following lead readings in vintage Spring Blossom Green pieces:
- Corelle plate, green border decoration: 15,200 ppm lead + detectable cadmium
- Corelle Livingware mug, green decoration: 31,700 ppm lead
- Pyrex Spring Blossom Green cup: 39,300 ppm lead + 833 ppm cadmium
- Pyrex Spring Blossom Green mixing bowls: 109,900 ppm lead
For context: 90 ppm is the threshold considered unsafe for children in items intended for children’s use under current FDA standards.
Vintage dinnerware is not regulated for total lead content detectable by XRF — the relevant regulatory question is leachable lead, not total lead. But the figures above reflect how much lead was present in the decorative green pigment used in that era, and why Corelle’s own guidance on pre-2005 decorated pieces — use for display, not food service — applies directly to Spring Blossom Green.
The critical distinction that most guides fail to state clearly: the Vitrelle glass base of Spring Blossom Green plates and bowls has consistently tested lead-free.
The lead is in the green decorative border, the paint applied to the glass surface, not in the glass itself. The undecorated center of the plate, where food most often rests, tests clean.
The highest-risk contact scenario is acidic food (tomato sauce, citrus, vinegar-based dishes) sitting directly on the green border area of the plate, or serving acidic food in bowls where the decoration covers more of the interior surface.
For healthy adults using vintage Spring Blossom Green with intact decoration for normal meals, the practical risk must be weighed against individual risk tolerance.
For young children, pregnant women, or anyone with elevated lead sensitivity, Corelle’s own guidance — display use only for pre-2005 decorated pieces — is the appropriate standard to follow.
The Current Spring Blossom Green Reissue: A Different Product
Here is the detail that most buyers searching for Spring Blossom Green in 2025 will not find clearly addressed in any existing guide: Corelle currently sells a pattern called Spring Blossom Green on corelle.com or Amazon that is explicitly not the vintage pattern.
Corelle describes it as “a fresh take on a 1970s design” with “daisies in a modern layout and updated color” — a retro-inspired reissue produced to current manufacturing standards, not a continuation of the original 1970s production run.
- VITRELLE: Our patented, made in USA, triple layered glass offer unrivaled strength and lightweight, making it a trusted …
- 18-PIECE SET: Includes (6) 10-1/4-inch dinner plates, (6) 6-3/4-inch appetizer plates and (6) 18-oz soup/cereal bowls. T…

The current Spring Blossom Green is manufactured in Corning, NY, meets current FDA and California Prop 65 lead-free standards, and carries the same three-year warranty as all current Corelle Vitrelle glass.
It is available as an 18-piece set for six, with individual plates and bowls sold as open stock.
The design is similar in spirit to the vintage original green daisy flowers on white glass, but the layout is updated, and the green tone has been adjusted from the deep, slightly cool-toned dark green of the 1970s version to a fresher, slightly warmer green that reads as contemporary.
Why this matters
If you search “Spring Blossom Green Corelle“, results will mix the current reissue (available new from corelle.com) with the vintage original (available secondhand from eBay, Etsy, and Replacements.com).
If you are buying for daily use and want a safe, currently produced set, buy from Amazon ( as shown above) or corelle.com.
If you are buying for collection, display, or nostalgia, source from secondary markets but understand the safety context above.
Buying the current reissue expecting the exact vintage aesthetic will lead to disappointment; buying vintage expecting current lead-free certification will create a genuine safety concern.
Other Notable Corelle Green Flower Patterns
Spring Blossom Green is not the only Corelle pattern in the green floral category. Several others have their own collector communities and secondary market presence.
Meadow — 1977–1984
Meadow was part of Corelle’s 1977 Expressions Livingware line — the first major design departure from the brand’s original border-only format.
- Dishwasher safe for long lasting patterns
- Microwave and oven use for versatility
- Coordinate with popular corelle dinnerware patterns
Where Spring Blossom Green places its decoration exclusively at the plate rim, Meadow uses a more naturalistic botanical illustration with larger green flowers, detailed stems, and leaves arranged more centrally on the plate surface.
The design aesthetic is more illustrative and less graphic than Spring Blossom Green, reflecting the Expressions line’s broader design ambitions.
Meadow is less commonly encountered than Spring Blossom Green in thrift stores but appears regularly on Etsy and eBay. As a pre-2005 decorated pattern, the same lead safety considerations apply.
Wildflower — 1977–1984
Also part of the 1977 Expressions Livingware line, Wildflower features delicate wildflower motifs in green alongside other soft pastel colors — it is a multi-color pattern rather than a single-color green design like Spring Blossom Green.
The green elements are softer in tone and less dominant than the solid dark green of the vintage Spring Blossom. Wildflower is a distinct pattern from the current Wildflower Scatter collection, which is a contemporary Corelle design with no direct lineage to this 1977 pattern.
- Durable and versatile: dishwasher, microwave, freezer and pre-heated oven (to 350° F) safe
- Space saving design: sleek, super lightweight and ultra-stackable
- Extra strength Vitrelle: triple-layer glass technology stands the test of time
The shared name confuses secondary market platforms and collector discussions. See our guide on the newest Corelle patterns for details on the current Wildflower Scatter.
April — 1979–1982
April features small green and yellow flower clusters in a design that bridges the single-color simplicity of the early Livingware patterns and the more elaborate multi-element Expressions designs.
It has a shorter production run than Spring Blossom Green or Meadow, making complete sets harder to find but individual pieces reasonably available.
The green elements in April are lighter and softer in tone than the dark graphic green of Spring Blossom Green.
Callaway and Callaway Ivy — 1995–2019
Callaway is one of the most commercially successful Corelle green patterns of the post-1990 era and ran in two distinct formats across nearly 25 years.
The original Callaway, sometimes called Callaway Ivy by buyers who know it from the 1990s, featured an elegant pale green ivy border on white Vitrelle glass with a sculpted scalloped rim, a distinctive physical format shared by very few other Corelle patterns.
It was produced from 1995 to 2015 and coordinated with CorningWare Callaway bakeware. A second iteration with a smooth (non-scalloped) rim replaced it from 2016 to 2019.
- Dishwasher safe for long lasting patterns
- Microwave and oven use for versatility
- Coordinate with popular corelle dinnerware patterns
Callaway’s pale green ivy design reads as considerably more refined and formal than Spring Blossom Green’s bold graphic daisies — it suits a traditional table setting in a way the vintage daisy pattern does not.
Because of its long production run (1995–2019), Callaway is one of the better-supplied discontinued patterns on the secondary market, with pieces available at moderate prices through Replacements.com, eBay, and Etsy.
An important buyer note: The scalloped-body Callaway (1995–2015) and the smooth-body Callaway (2016–2019) are not visually compatible on the same table; the plate profiles look different.
If you are adding pieces to an existing Callaway set, confirm which version you own before purchasing secondhand pieces to avoid a mismatch.
Garden Sketch Bands — Discontinued 2017
Garden Sketch Bands was a more recent green botanical pattern featuring delicate hand-drawn-style botanical sketches on white Vitrelle glass, positioned as a contemporary take on the green botanical aesthetic.
It was discontinued in 2017 and had a relatively short production run. Because it was produced entirely post-2005, Garden Sketch Bands is lead-free certified under current standards, making it one of the few discontinued green Corelle patterns that can be purchased secondhand without the vintage lead concern.
European Herbs — Current and Discontinued Versions
The European Herbs pattern available in Corelle’s Asia collection and some regional markets features a white background with green herb and floral designs on both the front and back of each plate.
It represents a different design approach from the rim-border formats of most Corelle green patterns: the decoration appears on both sides of the plate, creating a fully immersive botanical aesthetic.
European Herbs has been available in some markets in more recent production and is lead-free in its current versions.
How to Tell Vintage and Current Spring Blossom Green Apart
Because the vintage pattern and the current reissue share the same official name, buyers encountering the pattern without the full context can easily purchase the wrong version for their needs. Here is how to distinguish them:
- Check the backstamp. The underside of the plate will show the production era. Vintage pieces carry the “Corelle Livingware” or “Corelle by CorningWare” logo. Current pieces show the “Corelle” wordmark with “Made in the USA, Corning, NY” and do not carry the CorningWare or Livingware branding.
- Assess the green tone. The vintage Spring Blossom Green uses a deep, slightly cool-toned dark green — a characteristic of the chrome-based green pigments of that era. The current reissue uses a fresher, slightly warmer green that reads as more contemporary. Side by side, the difference is visible; individually, lighting conditions affect perception.
- Check the plate format. The vintage pattern was produced exclusively on the rimmed plate format typical of 1970s Corelle. The current reissue uses the coupe format (smooth continuous curve with no flat rim edge) standard in current Corelle production.
- Source of purchase. If you are buying from corelle.com, Amazon (sold directly by Corelle), or a major retailer stocking new Corelle, you will receive the current reissue. If you are buying from eBay, Etsy, Replacements.com, a thrift store, or an estate sale, you will almost certainly be purchasing the vintage original.
The Lead Safety Summary for All Green Corelle Patterns
The lead concern for vintage Corelle green flower patterns follows the same mechanism as all pre-2005 decorated Corelle: the risk is in the decorative pigment, not the Vitrelle glass base.
Green decorative pigments, particularly the deep, saturated greens used in 1970s production, historically required lead compounds to achieve their intensity and stability.
This is why Spring Blossom Green’s green border tested at 15,200 ppm lead, a figure significantly higher than the lead readings documented in lighter-colored or more muted vintage Corelle patterns.
Dark, saturated green is among the higher-lead color categories in vintage decorated Corelle, alongside red, orange, and bright yellow.
The safety framework by pattern:
| Pattern | Production Era | Lead Status | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring Blossom Green (vintage) | 1970–1988 | High lead in green decoration (15,200 ppm documented) | Display only per Corelle guidance |
| Spring Blossom Green (current reissue) | Current production | Lead-free, FDA/Prop 65 certified | Safe for daily food use |
| Meadow | 1977–1984 | Pre-2005; assume lead-containing decoration | Display only per Corelle guidance |
| April | 1979–1982 | Pre-2005; assume lead-containing decoration | Display only per Corelle guidance |
| Callaway / Callaway Ivy (scalloped) | 1995–2015 | Post-2005 production partially; verify individual piece | Check the backstamp date; post-2005 pieces are safe |
| Callaway (smooth) | 2016–2019 | Post-2005, lead-free | Safe for daily food use |
| Garden Sketch Bands | Discontinued 2017 | Post-2005, lead-free | Safe for daily food use |
| European Herbs (current) | Current production | Lead-free | Safe for daily food use |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Corelle pattern with small green flowers?
The most recognized Corelle pattern with small green flowers is Spring Blossom Green, also known by the collector nickname “Crazy Daisy.” Introduced in 1970 and produced through the mid-to-late 1980s, it features a border of small, stylized dark green daisy flowers on white Vitrelle glass.
Corelle currently also sells a modern reissue under the same name — Spring Blossom Green — which is a new, lead-free version with an updated design inspired by the 1970s original.
What is the difference between Spring Blossom and Crazy Daisy Corelle?
They are the same pattern. “Crazy Daisy” is a nickname created by collectors and never used in Corelle’s official marketing or product names.
Corelle’s official name for the pattern has always been Spring Blossom Green. Both names refer to the same dark green daisy border design produced from 1970 to the mid-to-late 1980s.
Is vintage Spring Blossom Green Corelle safe to use?
Independent XRF testing has documented 15,200 ppm lead in the green decorative border of vintage Spring Blossom Green plates — far above the 90 ppm threshold considered unsafe for children.
The lead is in the green decoration, not the Vitrelle glass base. Corelle’s own guidance recommends pre-2005 decorated pieces for display use only, not food service.
The current Spring Blossom Green reissue is produced to modern lead-free standards and is safe for daily use.
Is the new Corelle Spring Blossom Green the same as the vintage one?
No. The current Spring Blossom Green sold on corelle.com is described by Corelle as “a fresh take on a 1970s design” with “daisies in a modern layout and updated color.”
It uses current manufacturing standards, is lead-free certified, and is produced in a coupe plate format rather than the rimmed format of the original. The design is inspired by the vintage pattern but is visually and materially distinct from the 1970s original.
What other Corelle patterns have green flowers?
Beyond Spring Blossom Green, significant Corelle green flower patterns include: Meadow (1977–1984, larger naturalistic green flowers); April (1979–1982, small green and yellow flower clusters); Callaway/Callaway Ivy (1995–2019, elegant pale green ivy border in two rim format versions); Garden Sketch Bands (discontinued 2017, green botanical sketch design, lead-free); and European Herbs (green herb and floral design on both plate sides, current versions lead-free).
Is Callaway Ivy the same as Callaway?
Callaway Ivy is a common buyer name for the Corelle Callaway pattern — particularly the original scalloped-rim version produced from 1995 to 2015.
“Callaway Ivy” is not Corelle’s official name; the official pattern name is simply Callaway. It describes the pale green ivy border design.
Note that the scalloped-rim Callaway (1995–2015) and the smooth-rim Callaway (2016–2019) are two distinct formats that do not mix seamlessly on the same table.
Where can I find replacement pieces for Spring Blossom Green?
For vintage replacement pieces, Replacements.com (most organized, fixed pricing), eBay (largest volume, variable condition), and Etsy (well-curated individual pieces) are the best sources. For the current reissue, corelle.com and major retailers carry open stock pieces.
Confirm whether you need vintage or current pieces before purchasing the plate format, as the green tone differs between the two generations.
Are green Corelle patterns more likely to contain lead than other colors?
Yes, within the vintage era. The deep, saturated dark green pigments used in 1970s Corelle decoration, like that of Spring Blossom Green, historically required lead compounds to achieve their intensity.
Independent testing shows Spring Blossom Green’s green border at 15,200 ppm lead, one of the highest readings documented in consumer Corelle patterns.
As a general principle, deep saturated colors (dark green, red, orange, bright yellow) in vintage decorated Corelle carry a higher lead risk than lighter, more muted tones. All post-2005 Corelle decoration, regardless of color, is produced to current lead-free standards.
