CorningWare Platinum Starburst (1959) 6-Cup Stovetop Percolator Coffee Maker with basket insert in Very Good condition
The Platinum Starburst (often referred to with its dark gray/platinum atomic starburst motif on pyroceram) is a RARE vintage item introduced by Corning in 1959. It is/was their very first pattern for coffee makers. Thus, it is highly sought after by collectors because of its limited production,
How one knows this is from 1959: 1) The original pots did not have chrome spouts, 2) the starburst pattern was done in a shiny platinum enamel. Both are true in this item for sale. Corning changed the spouts to chrome in 1960 and afterwards. And the starburst pattern became black in color. Thus, if one finds a coffee maker with a chrome spout, it technically should be called a Black Starburst.
Note: There is a small chip of paint and finish missing on the spout/front side of the body - about 1/8\" dia. Zoom in to see it on that picture. Otherwise, no flaws to be found. Very clean. Some very minor normal wear on outside bottom of pot where it touches the resting surface. An amazing shiny piece for its 67 years of existence!No original packaging with this item for sale
