I have purchased several of the CorningWare Creations pieces and have been very pleased with both its performace, looks and shipping. Overall, this series is very hard to find. I found a few pieces in a Corning outlet in Servierville, TN, but only the Sapphire and Ruby pieces and the price was about the same as Amazon. Definitely not worth the drive when UPS will drop them at my door.

For this specific piece, I ordered it on Tuesday and it arrived Friday in perfect condition. It was packed in a bubble wrap envelope inside an Amazon "ready to ship" box which was then placed into a larger box with Diamond White 24 oz Au Gratin dish. I have never had a piece come broken, although the packing has sometimes left much to be desired.

The set over all stacks very well one inside another for cabinet storage and without scratching. I have hit the pieces pretty hard on the counter and banged them in the sink. I have never had a chip or break despite the fact I am not always as gentle as I should be. My boyfriend likes these pieces because he is in charge of clean up if I cook. All he has to do is stick the lid on and pop it in the fridge. There is no seal on the lid, it simply fits in place as one would expect, but strangely enough he did this with fresh salsa and there was no onion smell in the fridge. I like the Ruby and the Diamond White. The Diamond White looks good enough to use on a formal table with my china, which is white with platinum accents. It also looks great with casual dishes, which makes this series very useful.

This is a larger dish than I thought it would be. Plenty big enough for 12 enchiladas, for serving large quantities of sweet potato casserole, and for any other goody I might come up with. Again, I have stacked this in the cabinet with other au gratin pieces in the collection and there are no scratches. Metal utensils used to scope out enchiladas also left no marks, nor did being stacked in the sink and having forks and other utensils tossed in on top. Still looks new.

Nice color. VERY HEAVY. Cleans easily. This is not the ceramic of Corningware. It is Stoneware, which means it will break easily if bumped or dropped.

Pretty dish, lovey color & perfect price... But inside of dish was sticker
that covered the whole bottem which will not come off. It took 24 hours for paper(soaking in warm water with soap) to loosen it but now thick sticky glue will not come off. I have been scaping it with a knife. Now will see what happens. I hope it doesn't get all scratched up.

Very pretty, but it arrived broken despite looking like it was packed well.
Customer service was great, and immediately shipped a replacement.
That appeared to be well packed, cushioning on three sides. BUT the bottom had no cushioning. Anyhow, you guessed it. The replacement also arrived broken.

I certainly do not recommend buying this product.
