The cup and saucer set was one of the first pieces designed for the new colored glaze tableware line. The ring handle would have then been the first handle selected for the ringed dinnerware. Used for more than 30 years, the ring handled cup and saucer set remains a cornerstone of the fiestaware collection. Available in all eleven colors with interesting shape variations throughout the shapes history.
Advanced collectors will appreciate adding the flat bottomed cups, but especially their appropriate saucers to complete the early collection pieces. Inside flat bottoms, a hand turned foot and an unmarked saucer with 5 closely spaced rings around the foot will distinguish these early examples. For the purist collectors, the one year production of this set makes it a great item to cherish.
Circa 1940: It's not often I refer to a piece as rare, but the Zodiac cup and saucer set produced in very limited quantities during the New York Worlds fair has proved to be one of the most difficult items to find. This recently acquired item has been a unicorn in my collecting endeavors and I'm very pleased to be able to offer it for sale.
