Circa 1939-1942: By the end of the 1930s Fiesta pottery had become quickly embraced by the American marketplace. The fun, colorful dishware had begun to be mixed and matched across the country. To keep sales moving, Homer Laughlin launced a promotional campaign that would bring us such fine items as the Figure 8 tray with sugar and creamer, the Stick Handled French Casserole, and the 7 piece Fiesta Juice Ensemble. The juice pitcher was modeled a year before along with a variety of sized pitchers of which the water pitcher was the original choice. Luckily the smallest of those original designs was resurrected for the 7 piece Juice Set. The juice tumbler as well was a piece that pottery designer Frederick Rhead had been laboring over for years with the Kraft company who sold their cheese spread in them. The 5-oz. tumbler was dipped in all six of the Fiesta colors, paired with the 30-oz. disc jug, and the 7-Piece Fiesta Juice Set was born. This 7-piece juice set is in excellent condition with no damage. Please note one small glaze skip on the side of the red juice tumbler. Juice pitcher is marked in the mold with the impressed "fiesta" mark. Cups are unmarked with smooth dry wiped feet.
