Modeled by Homer Laughlin China Company during the spring of 1937, the Fiesta Kitchen Kraft line is made up of nearly twenty pieces. Originally produced only in ivory with decals applied it wasn't long after it's original debut that Fiesta Kitchen Kraft began to be dipped in the original fiesta colors of red, yellow, blue and green. Introduced in Chicago and Pittsburgh in January of 1938 Fiesta Kitchen Kraft was praised for it's parade of color, high degree of practical utility, sturdiness and durability, all in a graceful, modern shape. Highly desirable by advanced Fiesta pottery collectors, here you will find a selection of hand picked Fiesta Kitchen Kraft from my collection available for you to enjoy.
