Circa 1936-1941: Maroon was one of the original four colored glazes in the Harlequin pottery line. Although 12 colors would be dipped on the Harlequin shape over its near 30 year run, the original four colors hold a special place in the collectors heart, with spruce and maroon being in high demand as they were discontinued first and were the lines shortest running glazes. The covered casserole shape is one of the showcases of the line and is a treat to find dipped in the early, original color of maroon.

Circa June 1938-1940: 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 line. Dipped in the Harlequin colors the large butter transformed intself into a delightful play of deco angles and details. Not common in any color, the maroon glaze will elude collectors since Maroon color was discontinued early by 1940 making the length of production short for the butter in maroon.

This example, from the Becky Turner collection, is one of the only ones that I have ever seen without any damage or use - not a scratch or ding, only a small spot of manufacturing issue with the glaze on one side, but most importantly not a single chip or ding, touch-up or repair. It is truly a delight to find one of these and many in the collecting community will be pleased to find a piece of Becky's advanced Harlequin pottery on the market.
