Vintage Fiesta Water and Juice Tumblers for Sale | Circa 1937-1946

Neither the fiesta water or juice tumblers were part of the original line, but added after the potteries initial release. The water tumblers were designed by the summer of 1937 while the juice tumblers came a couple of years later and were used in the promotional campaign of the 1940s.

Vintage Fiestaware Water Tumblers

The fiesta water tumblers were discontinued by 1946 and were only produced in the first six original colors. The bands of concentric rings around the top of the mug would have been etched into each piece on the jiggering machine, a laborious production method that is unthinkable in todays manufacturing world. All water tumblers will have in the mold marks, either "HLC USA" or "MADE IN USA". Heights will vary slightly do to the hand work, but most should average roughly 4 1/2" tall.

Vintage Fiestaware Juice Tumblers

The fiesta juice tumblers have a long and torrid history at Homer Laughlin. Originally commissioned by Kraft cheese, and labored over with extensive changes in size and shape, the tumblers were eventually repurposed and used to complete a juice set for the 1940s fiestaware promotional campaign. The first campaign used the six original fiesta colors, with a later 75th anniversary campaign using the Jubilee colors of mist gray, rose, beige and shell pink and a final campaign using the Rhythm colors of harlequin yellow, chartreuse, forest green and gray. These Rhythm color juice tumblers are exceptionally rare. None will be marked, but all will have the bands of rings around the top edge.
