Summary

The clean design and bright colors of the Fiesta dinnerware line-first introduced by the Homer Laughlin Co. in 1936-caught the fancy of housewives everywhere, revolutionizing the market for tableware in the United States. Though originally offered in just five colors-red, ivory, cobalt blue, yellow, and green-the number and variety of hues blossomed to include turquoise, rose, gray, forest green, chartreuse, and medium green-one of the most popular and valuable.When the Fiesta line was reintroduced in 1986, after a hiatus from 1973 to 1985, collecting interest surged again. The passion for the vintage colors was reignited, and the line's new colors, including periwinkle, cinnabar and sunflower, created a stir amid a new generation of collectors. From the best of the old to the latest and greatest modern colors of the new, Warman's® Fiesta Ware provides comprehensive expert advice and up-to-date pricing for the line that lent distinction to the plainest table. With more than 1,000 eye-appealing photographs, this colorful story is well told by author Mark F. Moran.
