Vintage Fiesta and Harlequin Mustard and Marmalade Jars | Circa 1936-1946

The lidded marmalade was originally designed as the mustard, but Homer Laughlin had the forsight to see that was a very large jar for mustard, so it was repurposed as a jam jar instead. The delightful piece would have had the knob cast and then attached by hand (which is why so many of the knobs tilt). The foot would have been flared out by hand and then the bands of rings would be etched on the foot one by one with a metal blade on the jiggering machine which spun the pieces around. Finally the spoon hole would have been punched in to the lid, also by hand. Lots of hand craftsmanship went into the early production pieces.

Vintage Fiestaware Mustards

Attention turned to the design of the mustard, which after numerous revisions was finalized. The mustard's lid was slip cast in one piece, just like the medium sized C handled teapot, so no tilted lids on the cute little mustards. Measuring 3 1/16" tall x 2 1/2" wide, and unmarked because of it's small size, the mustard another hard to find item that is a must have to add to your collection.
