Corningware "Floral Bouquet" Loaf Pan

This is a Corningware 2-quart Loaf Pan in the "Floral Bouquet" pattern which was made from 1971-1974. Although two variations of Floral Bouquet appeared in 1969, this simplified smaller design was introduced and patented in 1971 and was confined only to the front of the cookware instead of the wrap-around version. This new design was the work of artists Patricia Luzier and Gregory Mirow. This loaf pan and the 4-quart Dutch oven were the first pieces to use this new standard Floral Bouquet pattern. The piece is clearly stamped on the bottom in indigo blue ink with Corningware®, pattern number P-315-B, dimensions 9" x 5" x 3", size 2 QT., Made in U.S.A., and For Range & Microwave.
