| Many collectors have a favorite pattern or item that they can't resist. For me, it's Pyrex mini-creamers. At just under three inches high, these 6 oz. creamers are perfect for sauces. I mainly use mine at breakfast for syrup with pancakes or country-style gravy with biscuits. They also make a great server for salad dressing. I've never used mine for their intended use as a creamer. |  |
The mini-creamers (item number 722) were introduced by Corning in 1961 to match restaurant-ware patterns. Later, in 1974, Corning added the creamer to its "Pyrex Compatibles" product line to match four popular Corelle Livingware patterns: Spring Blossom Green, Butterfly Gold, Snowflake Blue, and Old Town Blue. When sold as part of the Pyrex Compatibles product line, the creamer included a covered sugar bowl (item number 714).
In commercial restaurant-ware patterns, the mini-creamer was available in many patterns offered from 1961-1975: Turquoise, Emerald (Green), and Ruby (Red) Bands; Grecian (Gray), Bluegrass (Blue), Revel (Red), and Fern Green Florals; Copper Filigree; Regency; Autumn Bands; Lancaster; and Tiburon.
The mini-creamer does not appear on price lists during this time period for Ruby Scroll, Green Leaf, Chariot, Bronze, Sapphire/Aegean, Nile, Ebony, Champagne, Cherry, or White. For these patterns the creamer was apparently offered as a special order item since some mini-creamers in these patterns have been found. Mini-creamers were discontinued in 1975.
