I have three pieces, with lids, of the l'echalote pattern pattern with tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, and avocado done in brown, gold, and red. Are they of any value?

This is a very popular and quite common pattern.
The 1-2 quart size sell regularly from 7-19 dollars depending on if you have the glass lids and/or storage lids. The 5 qt size sell regularly from 12.99 to 15.99.
This are true SOLD prices, not asking prices and not the crazy high values you are seeing at the moment on eBay.
As I have said to several other posts on this site in the last 5 days or so, there has been a whole bunch of misinformation floating about that these are worth thousands. One story had them pegged in the 7,000 dollar range.
I did a spit take with my coffee on that one. It is (sadly) TOTALLY FALSE or I would be a wealthy gal!
High sold values on eBay are usually a scam or money laundering or, as a reseller friend just suggested to me over the weekend, that there are dishonest writers/reporters out there who are creating these high sale auctions for common pieces so they can write click-bait articles for the web. That sounds very possible since clicking is money.
Ignore the mis-information and take this as fact. I have been reselling for most of my life and this is the true value of these pieces in today's resell market!
To tell you the truth a blog posted by a person has started a wave of questions about the real value of CorningWare. This person claimed that a person sold their set or just one piece on eBay for $7000.
