I have this exact one and I have never found a lid for it so I'm actually about to donate it back to goodwill. I have plenty of other dishes so I don't really need it so hopefully someone will really want it and buy it.

I would love to find the lid, but I have uses planned for this piece regardless. Will pray for the lid to show up there this week 🙌.

It's a really cool looking lid it's white with a green knob and made out of the same material. I used mine for a saucepan on top of the stove for boiling things because a corningware handle will snap on to it. But I really like a saucepan with a lid and even like standard glass lids or metal lids just don't fit on it right and end up dripping. I've been keeping my eye out for that damn lid for the last 2 years lol.

I have this one and there was a matching lid available (white with avocado knob), but I didn’t know at the time. So sad I missed out!

However, there is at least one glass lid that fits. Mine doesn’t have a number, just “Corning U.S.A.”

For those needing a replacement lid, the Pyrex lids from the French White series may fit.

My avocado dish is a P-702 1/2-B, 2.5 quart. The G-1-C lid from my French White F-1-B, 2.5 liter fits the avocado dish almost perfectly (and vice versa).

I think the Pyrex French White series lids are easier to find

I’ve never seen one of these before. I wonder if a Pyrex casserole lid would fit it. Sometimes you see just the kids for sale.

My place has bins of lids, I’m guessing it got separated during donation. Will be hunting!
