Circa 1936-1942: Not only was the red colored glazed fiestaware more expensive when it was originally produced, but then it was the first original color discontinued unexpectedly early (by the end of 1942) when the uranium used in the glaze was recalled for strickly WWII efforts. Red was introduced again in 1959 with a depleted uranium used for the glaze, but this example is from the first run of the color, which we can tell because of the fully glazed bottom (later pieces would have a dry white foot and be loaded by machine into the large kilns). This 5 1/2" fruit bowl is in excellent condition without signs of use. It is wonderfully marked "HLC fiesta MADE IN USA" on the bottom. Measures 5 1/2" w x 2 1/2"h.
