Circa 1951-1959: The vintage Fiesta casserole, with it's scroll handled and finial top, shares it's design with both the sugar bowl and the covered onion soup bowl. The Fiesta casserole was one of the largest pieces made for the entire time the vintage line was in production. The scroll handles and finial top remind us of the covered onion soup bowl and the sugar bowl. The casserole would require quite a bit of hand work, outside rims were formed on a jiggering machine, handles and knobs joined by hand, even the underside of the lid is adorned with hand jiggered concentric rings. This example in rose is in excellent condition with a gorgeous, smooth inside, no damage found anywhere. No repairs or touch ups, no chips and no apparent use make this a spectacular showcase for the great 50s rose glaze. Measures 9 3/4" across from handle to handle and 5 3/4" tall from base to top of lid. Nicely marked in the mold on the bottom "fiesta MADE IN USA".
