Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Covered Onion Soup »

Circa 1936-1938: The vintage Fiesta covered onion soup bowl was one of the first few pieces of the original line discontinued. The earliest versions will not be marked and will have a flat inside bottom. All examples are rare, with the turquoise version being the hardest of all to find, produced in limited quantities for a very short time. Lots of hand workmanship was involved in these delightful pieces of Art Deco pottery from the 30s.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Cream Soup »

Circa 1936-1969: The vintage Fiesta cream soup bowl has remained on of the most collectable pieces of the vintage line. A simple bowl that appeared in much early advertising, it is unmistakably Fiesta, with it's charming tabbed handles and bands of concentric rings. Available in all eleven vintage colors.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Dessert »

Circa 1936-1969: Initially thought of as a fruit bowl by its maker, designer Frederick Rhead, the popular bowl was part of the original release in 1936. The dessert bowl has the distinction of being the last item discontinued from the line in 1960 before Fiesta was restyled into Ironstone in 1969.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Footed Salad »

Circa 1938-1946: One of the largest and most sought after pieces of the entire Fiesta line. Far fewer of these large footed salad bowls were produced than, say, the vegetable nappy bowl, so these beauties are a rare treat for the collector. Slip cast and then the rings would be applied by hand using the jiggering machine. The foot would also be hand jiggered and shaped on a machine much like a woodworkers lathe. Bands of concentric rings adorn the top, both inside and out, the inside bottom and all around the detailed foot. This large bowl measures nearly 11 1/2" wide. Produced in original six colors only.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Fruit 4 3/4" »

Circa 1938-1969: Introduced two years after it's larger twin, the 5 1/2" Fiesta fruit bowl, the 4 3/4" version will really help you manage your waste line and makes a great ice cream or dessert bowl. Available in all eleven vintage colors, but exceedingly hard to find in medium green glaze.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Fruit 5 1/2" »

Circa 1937-1946: The large, shallow 11 3/4" fruit bowl was originally designed as part of the Kitchen Kraft line. The widest of all the vintage Fiesta bowls produced, it was referred to as the "salad nappie" by designer and creator Frederick Rhead. Available in the original six colors only.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Individual Salad »

CIrca 1959-1969: Designed in 1939, but not produced for thirty years, the individual salad bowl with its abundance of inside, out and bottom rings is one of the nicest designed bowls in the Fiesta line. Produced in only four colors of Medium Green, Red, Yellow and Turquoise.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Mixing Bowl (Sizes Number 1 through 7) »

CIrca 1936-1944: A complete set of vintage Fiesta mixing bowls, consists of seven bowls that nest within each other. The bowls were numbered on the bottoms, with #1 being the smallest and #7 the largest. For the first two years of production the inside bottoms were decorated with bands of concentric rings, helping us date these early version bowls from 1936-1938. A complete set of well nested bowls is a feat to collect and the pride of many collections.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Nappy 8 1/2" (regular) »

CIrca 1936-1969: Nappie is an old English word that describes an open serving bowl. The 8 1/2" nappy bowl is such an indispensable item that it is one of the few original pieces introduced in 1936 that ran the entire time of production and is even being made again today in the contemporary glazes.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl— Nappy 9 1/2" (large) »

CIrca 1936-1946: Large Version. Discontinued in 1946, the 9 1/2" Vintage Fiesta nappy bowl is 33% larger than it's smaller 8 1/2" counterpart. Available in only the original six colors and always found with a fully glazed foot.

Vintage Fiesta Bowl—Unlisted Salad »

Circa 1940-1943: Originally sold with a fork and spoon set, it is unlike the other bowls offered in the Fiesta line. Heavily adorned with graduating concentring rings from the jiggering machine on the outside, yet smooth inside, the promotional salad was only produced for a scant three years.

Vintage (Fiesta) Butter Dishes »

Circa 1942-1945: Collectors lament that there was never a vintage Fiesta butter dish for the line, but the adventurous can rejoice in the butter borrowed from Homer Laughlins Jade and century lines, dipped in a variety of the fiesta and harlequin glazes.

Vintage Fiesta Candle Holders— Bulb »

Circa 1937-1944: The Fiesta bulb candle holder is a great, affordable, unique piece of the Fiesta line to collect. Less likely to be found with damage than the tripod candle holders and at a fraction of the price. Produced in the first six vintage colors only.

Vintage Fiesta Candle Holders— Tripod »

Circa 1937-1942: The tripod candle holders are perhaps the hardest pieces of vintage Fiesta to find without damage.

One of the most complex of all the vintage Fiesta pieces, the tripod candle holders are a delight and transcend the pottery from tableware to art pottery. Produced in the first six vintage colors only.

Vintage Fiesta Carafes »

Circa 1936-1946: Stunning and unusual in form, the Fiesta carafe stands out among the crowd. Perhaps best suited for a water jug, the carafe holds three pints and is adorned with a hand applied finial and cork lid. The carafe is found only in the first six original colors and is hard to find, especially in excellent, undamaged condition.

Vintage Fiesta Casseroles »

Circa 1936-1969: 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. The Harlequin, Riviera, and Fiesta Kitchen Kraft lidded casseroles also underwent much of the same attention to detail and hand craftsmanship.

Vintage Fiesta Coffeepots »

Circa 1936-1959: Standing only second in height to the twelve inch vase, the Fiesta coffeepot draws a demanding presence. 10 1/2" h x 8" wide. Discontinued right before the introduction of medium green and hard to find in all the 50s colors, especially gray and chartreuse.

Vintage Fiesta Coffeepot— Demitasse »

Circa 1936-1942: Produced for a scant six years, the after-dinner demitasse stick handled coffee pot is a highly desirable and hard to find item. Available in the first vintage Fiesta six colors only, the turquoise will prove the hardest to find. Referred to as a Chocolate Pot by designer Fredick Rhead, the AD coffeepot will serve 8 demitasse cups (or 4 twice!). The piece was highly labor intensive to make, consisting of four individually cast parts, with the finial and the handle being hand applied. The spout hole was even created manually and can thus vary in size.

Vintage Fiesta Comport—12"  Footed »

Vintage Fiesta Cup— Demitasse, Stick Handle »

Circa 1935-1959: Although the vintage Fiesta stick handled coffeepots were discontinued in the mid 40s, the cups themselves continued to be manufactured until right before the release of medium green and are available in 10 of the 11 vintage colors, although rare in the 50s glazes.

Vintage Fiesta Cup— Egg »

Circa 1937-1959: Within the first year of production, designer Frederick Rhead had created fourteen new pieces for the line. The Fiesta egg cup was among these new editions for the quickly popular dinnerware. Larger than most egg cups, the Fiesta version stands 3 1/8" tall and 3 3/8" wide.

Vintage Fiesta Marmalades »

Circa 1936-1944:The vintage Fiesta covered marmalade jar was added to the line in mid 1936. Slip cast from three pieces with the finial hand applied, the lidded marmalade is hard to find and a delight to add to your collection. Produced in the original six vintage colors only.

Vintage Fiesta Mug— Tom and Jerry »

Circa 1936-1969: The Tom and Jerry was an alcoholic egg and milk drink, popular in the 30s and 40s. It was served warm from a large bowl in handled mugs. Homer Laughlin had already been producing this mug with a different handle when Fiesta pottery was being designed. Adopting the ring handle from the general Fiesta line, the Tom and Jerry mug was born.

Vintage Fiesta Mustards »

Circa 1936-1944: The vintage Fiesta mustard jar was only in production for seven years and will prove hard to find, especially in excellent condition. The base and lid were slip cast and the lid was molded from one piece, just like the medium sized teapot. The spoon hole would have been cut out by hand after the piece was molded. Measures 2 1/2" wide by 3 1/16" tall.

Vintage Fiesta Pitcher— Disk Juice »

Circa 1936-1944: The Fiesta juice pitcher was released throughout the years with various promotional campaigns in a few select colors, most commonly yellow, then red and celadeon green, and the rarest of them all is in the sophisticated Gray of the 50s Fiestaware

Vintage Fiesta Pitcher— Disk Water »

Circa 1938-1969: The Fiesta disk water pitcher may be the most universally recognized shape in the entire Fiesta pottery line. The disc shaped pitcher was introduced in the early spring of 1938. Large, but not overwhelming, the Fiesta pitcher holds 71 ounces and stands 7 1/2" tall.

Vintage Fiesta Pitcher— Ice Lip »

Circa 1936-1946: The vintage Fiesta ice lip pitcher is unique in its look—round and bulbous like the vintage Fiesta mustard, but giant like the Fiesta disk water pitcher, the ice lip pitcher is a surprise and a delight. Produced for a scant 10 years the vintage Fiesta ice lip pitcher is never an easy find, and is especially coveted in excellent condition. Like most of the early Fiesta line, the piece needed much hand craftsmanship, such as smoothing mold seams and attatching a seperately slip cast handle. Great art deco lines are created by the graduated stairstep that decorates the piece around the rim, up and over the spout, down the handle and around the base. Found in two varieties, marked in mold with a smaller "Fiesta HLC USA" and a plain outside bottom or with a larger in mold mark "Fiesta HLC USA" and extra bands of concentric rings on the outside bottom. Measures an impressive 9 3/4" from tip of spout to back of handle and 6 3/8" tall.

Vintage Fiesta Plate— Cake »

Circa March 1937-Late 1937: Produced for a scant 6 month, the vintage Fiesta cake plate is a rare piece that shows up less and less. The vintage Fiesta cake plate may look just like the dinner plate at first glance, but closer inspection shows a completely flat surface, with no slight raising at the edges and a backside completely covered with rings. It is the rings and the flatness that will gaurantee you have a cake plate and not a regular dinner plate.

Vintage Fiesta Plate— Chop 15" »

Circa 1936-1959: Both the thirteen and fifteen inch Fiesta chop plates were part of the original release in mid-1936. The design remained consistent with all of the Fiesta plates, decorated with bands of concentric rings radiating out from the center.

Vintage Fiesta Plate— Divided 10" »

Circa 1936-1969: The 10 1/2" compartment plate was inspired from a suggestion by retailers Lazarus after pottery designer Frederick Rhead visited their stores in Columbus Ohio. The thick plate with deep wells and an many bottom rings is a great version of the divided plate.

Produced in all eleven vintage colors, including medium green.

Vintage Fiesta Shakers— Salt and Pepper »

Circa 1936-1969: The fiesta salt and pepper shakers make up two of the 14 pieces that were made through the entire vintage production. They were part of the original line and oddly enough were sold seperately and not as pairs although there is a distint difference in them, the pepper having smaller holes and a smaller hole pattern than the salts. Due to their small size they were also one of the very few Fiesta items that were not marked.

Vintage Fiesta Sauce Boats »

Circa 1936-1969: Nearly 8" from tip of spout to back of handle, with a nice little belly on it too, that puffs out just before tappering off into the concentric ringed foot. The design is superb and really showcases pottery designer Frederick Rheads vision.

Circa 1936-1948: The vintage Fiesta utility tray is a highly practical and wonderful piece to use on your dinnerware table.
