Introduced in 1986, the Octime cookware collection features a sophisticated eight-sided beveled appearance. Casseroles are available in both Amber and White, with the latter being more common overall. Only white saucepans have been found and feature the same detachable handles as originally used with Trianon. The handles were offered in numerous colors including white, blue, brown, black, and green. Originally sold under the Arcoflam brand name, newer examples have been offered under Luminarc and Arcoroc.
Select white pieces were rebadged as "Nouveau" cookware and distributed by Princess House in the 1990s-2000s. In 2010-2011 both white and amber casseroles were distributed under Corning Ware and Visions brands, respectively.
As of the late-2010s, the amber 6L Dutch Oven was the sole remaining model still in production. It was sold with a fluted lid, and textured base, under the "Blooming" line in the Asia-Pacific region.
