The dessert bowl was initially concieved as a fruit bowl, by designer Frederick Rhead. It's a charming piece standing about 1 1/2" wide but nearly 6 1/4' wide, making this wide shallow bowl usefull and fun to stack. Made in all eleven vintage colors, the bowl was discontinued in mid 1959, right after the release of medium green, making examples in that color rare. Most will be impressed in the mold with the mark "fiesta MADE IN USA HLC", although some earlier versions will have the simpler "fiesta HLC USA" mark.
