Yes, French White CorningWare has vertical ribs around it. It
post-dates the squareish ones with grips on each side. The new
'CorningWare' has a version of the ribbed French White, but in stoneware.
I have a number of pieces of the traditional shapes in white, as well as
French White, a few Cornflower, and some yellow pieces, which were only
produced for a short time.
