Homer Laughlin released two types of candle holders for their fiestaware line, bulb and tripods. The tripod version was modeled four months before the bulb set, but both were part of the initial release in 1936. The tripods were not big sellers and were discontinued when red was no longer available, by the end of 1942. The bulbs continued to be made until the end of 1946. Both are great items to add variety and flare to your collection, with the tripods being very hard to find.
Circa 1936-1942: The Vintage Fiesta bulb candle holder is an affordable and unique piece of the vintage Fiesta pottery. Less likely to be found with damage than the tripod candle holders and at a fraction of the price.

Circa 1936-1946: Part of the original release in the fiestaware line from 1936, the creamy ivory vellum glaze is showcased on the great design of the art pottery pieces from Homer Laughlin, like these unique bulb candle holders.

Circa 1937-1946. The Vintage Fiesta bulb candle holders belong to that delightful group of shapes were only produced in the first original six colors, turquoise being added slightly later, in 1937. It always surprises me how hard it is to find these early pieces in the turquoise glaze with a nice application, without issues and damage.

Circa 1936-1946: The Fiesta bulb holder is a great, affordable, unique piece of the fiesta line to collect. Less likely to be found with damage than the tripod holders and at a fraction of the price.

The vintage fiesta tripod candle holders are in a class all by themselves. Constructed from a complex four part mold, the three supports would have to be attatched to the base by hand. Not a big seller, Homer Laughlin discontinued the tripods early on, by the end of 1942 when the red glaze was also withdrawn. Finding any is a rare treat and especially in exeptional condition as these matching pairs are.
Circa 1936-1942: The original green color embodied the American kitchen palette for more than a decade, and there is no better way to celebrate this iconic color than on the triumphant design of the vintage fiesta tripod candle holders.
