The original green fiesta glaze was a color carried over from tableware lines that Homer Laughlin was already producing in the late 1920s and early 1930s. This classic green color had already dominated the American kitchen pallette for a decade, so it is no surprise that it would be selected as foundation for the 1936 release of the now famous fiesta ware. Several other greens would be introduced into the fiestaware line, but it is the original green that represents the era and takes us back to the 1930 kitchen.
