Your grandmothers colorful fiesta ware
Chances are, your
grandma had some
of the colorful heavy
china from the Homer
Laughlin Company called
Fiesta. Fiesta was designed
by Fredrick Rhead and intro
duced in early 1936.
Fiesta has a very distinc
tive design that is simple

and yet
elegant.
This din
nerware
has con
centric
rings near
the edge
and was
produced
in bright
colors in
response
to the dis-
ficult and bleak times follow
ing the Great Depression.
(If you remember from our
previous articles, this is also
the era when depression
glass became popular).
Did you realize that this
bright and cheery dinner
ware is still being produced
today? A lot of it is being
used in restaurants as well
as modem homes and the
Homer Laughiin Company
is still going strong since
its beginning way back in
1871.
The original colors were
red, yellow, light green,
cobalt and ivory. Turquoise
wasn’t introduced until the
middle of 1937. These col
ors are referred to by Fiesta
collectors as “the original
six”. The line became so
popular that it included over
50 items in the product line
in its first few years of pro
duction.
To promote sales in the
late 1930 s and early 1940 s
some special items were pro
duced that are very rare to
find today. These are; the
french casserole, figure eight
set, unlisted salad bowl and
the set of promotional casse
role and pie plate. The more
common promotion pieces
were the yellow disk juicer
and the pitcher which are
still easily found and not as
pricey as the other promo
tion pieces.
In 1943, Fiesta Red was
dropped from production
due to the government’s
wartime control of uranium
which was a key component
in the glaze manufacture.
Collectors still desire those
early red pieces and pay top
dollar, but they no longer

If they retire these colors,
they’ll be collectible, too. In
the new colors, for example,

it’s already gone way up in

Don’t be confused by all
of these color changes. If
you are looking for only the
original Fiestaware, it is
important to study the col
ors closely.
Although four of the origi
nal colors are reproduced in
the new line, there are dif
