I was super excited to find Fiestaware today! I rarely see it in thirft stores around me. I have a large veggie bowl and a few of the luncheon (?) plates in Scarlet already that I put into rotation during the Holidays. $27.00/10 plates ❤️🍽
I’ve been trying to find radioactive red fiesta ware but I’m not very good at distinguishing the colors yet as I’m still new to this, if anyone could help me identify these that would be greatly appreciated
The sage salad plates arrived today and randomly matched the shirt I was wearing. They're a mossy, minerally, beguilingly beautiful green. The picture... the color just did not capture. The sunlight really washed out everything but the cobalt. Even from the floor!
Happy to have found these today at a local thrift store. I didn't have any of these colors. All 4 for a dollar.
I think this is the best color combo I’ve ever seen
I didn’t even know harlequin made original green?? I can’t seem to find ANY info about these teapots. Do yall know anything? $9.99 at the local thrift today…
after a decade of living abroad, i was finally courageous enough to ship my fiestaware over. i’m stoked to finally have it with me, and my husband - who didn’t have a clue about my collection- loves it.
we shipped 36 place settings, plus a few random pieces (pitcher, serving bowls, casseroles). i was very worried about breakage, and am pleased to share that it was minimal: i lost 5 bowls, 1 plate, 1 mug, 1 teacup, and the sugar bowl. not bad considering, though i was surprised that bowls seemed to be the weakest 🤷🏼♀️
i used original boxes/packaging, adding bubble wrap around interior perimeter and then filled in gaps with scrunched up newspaper. then the UPS store popped 10 boxes in a larger box with heaps of biodegradable peanuts and off they went!
now i can finally appreciate my fiesta i’ve collected over the past 25 years : )
For newcomers to Fiesta, the Fiesta Factory Direct website has a post featuring the historic timeline of the company. Though we have color histories posted in the sidebar, this is the written history of the company whose product we love so much.
Hi! I just found these and realized they are unmarked once the stickers were removed! I googled and read that it’s not uncommon for relish tray inserts (and several vintage items in general) to be unmarked. It seems crazy some other manufacturer may have made something nearly identical to the fiesta version but wanted insight from the fiesta group please to know if it’s possible these are not fiesta!
They measure 2.5” on the sides and 1” tall which matches what i saw listed online
These colors match my vintage fiesta dishes I do have so i have hope!
I scoured the store for the middle piece and the tray without luck :c
Hi, folks!! A few days ago I asked for some suggestions on what to add to my current collection, and y’all had tons of wonderful ideas!
At first, I just decided on Cinnabar, as I got a good offer for a 5 pc set that would get me all of my go-to pieces. I figured I would add some Foundry Halloween items (I’m particularly fond of the Victorian Gothic design) and maybe something Linen, who knows.
Then… I went to an antique shop I hadn’t visited in a while, and… they had a Lilac plate. It was a decent price for the color (and considering it has a little bubble/pock mark on the top, but oh well), and so I got it. And then… I caved and I got a few Old Yellow plates and an Old Ivory plate, too.
The lilac/ivory/yellow is very Rapunzel, which I love, and I’ve just expanded my combos immensely! Here’s a little update of my collection (minus a plum 5.5” bowl and some duplicates). Now I’ve got Plum, Tangerine, Cinnabar, Chartreuse (old and p86), Yellow (Old), Ivory (Old), and Lilac.
Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions, and hopefully by October I’ll have a few more pieces to really add to the Spooky Factor (:
Well, caught two! About seven bucks for both.
Been searching for this for wayyyyy too long and I can’t believe I found it in Persimmon!
I started collecting last winter when I found the entire ivory set all together for $7. The rest I've picked up slowly and bought some pieces when I worked at the thrift store as well
Hello fellow Fiesta enthusiasts
I’ve been working on adding all of my dishes collection to a spreadsheet and it just looked so happy and I wanted to share. I’m originally a Pyrex collector, but for Fiesta it all started with my turquoise jumbo mug and it’s been a wild ride from there. Here she is in all her 124 piece glory.
My entire collection is thrifted with some handed down. I have a chunk of P86, collection of 40’s-50’s - many from my grandmother, and quite a few very early pieces in the original five colours.
My favorite hand me down piece is my grandma’s rose Disk Pitcher. My luckiest thrifted pieces are the OG lunch plates. Have you ever noticed that the 30’s pieces just feel different from the 50’s pieces? I took a pic of the two different turquoise and yellow plates as an interesting comparison.
It’s also fun to compare colours like these similar OG Rose pieces and their P86 counterparts. And I even managed to find a medium green!
I’ve learned so much lurking in this forum and I’ve so enjoyed looking at all your collections, thanks for giving me a place to share mine.
Recently recruited a coworker whose favorite color is yellow 💛 picked this up on marketplace for her. Now I want your opinion - does this need a little barkeepers friend, or is this just how the glaze is for this yellow? I honestly dont collect yellow (although I do love my butterscotch stackable mug)
I'm working on a project to keep it vague and the only full pictures I have of this flyer are from Post86 but they're a slightly lower quality than what I'm looking for. I don't know if this ever existed online as a PDF but if it exists and someone has it I would really appriciate it if I could download it. Otherwise a high quality scan would be helpful as well
