Designed in 1939, but not produced for thirty years, the individual salad bowl with its abundance of inside, out and bottom rings is one of the nicest designed bowls in the Fiesta line. The bowl has the distinction of being the last piece designed for the original fiestaware line and the only new piece added since the promotional campaigns of the 1940s. Released in 1950 in the '60s colors, it will only be found in the rereleased original red, the original yellow and turquoise fiesta colors and the new medium green color. All examples are relatively hard to find since production of fiesta was declining and the last decade of manufacturing saw less goods produced than every before. Measures 7 5/8" wide by 2 3/8" tall and will be found either stamped "GENUINE fiesta HLC. USA" or in the mold impressed "fiesta MADE IN USA".
Circa 1959-1969: The inside rings of the individual salad bowl were formed by hand, piece by piece, etched into the clay body with a metal blade on the jiggering machine while the bowls spun round and round. A delightful process, carried over at Homer Laughlin since the early 1930s.

Circa 1959-1969: The fiestaware yellow colored glaze was the longest running color in the original line. It mixed and matched perfectly with all the vintage colors and is a delight to find on the wonderful individual salad bowl that is covered with rings inside and out.

Circa 1959-1969: The fiesta individual salad bowl could be considered the one piece made just for the new 1959 glaze of medium green. Only found in the last four colors and the only piece designed since the 1940s, the individual salad bowl is quintessentially fiestaware made for medium green!

Circa 1939-1940:The Harlequin salad bowl was originally slated for the Fiesta line, but was modeled for the Harlequin line instead.

Circa 1938-1942: Not many pieces of Harlequin pottery share as many traits with their Fiesta counterparts as does the Harlequin Individual Salad Bowl. Thick walled construction, bands of concentric rings and a wide, generous size unite this shape across both lines. The Harlequin version will not have the inside rings and will, like all vintage Harlequin, be unmarked on the bottom. Generous in size at 7 12" wide.
