Consider using this beautiful ceramic pottery dinnerware to round out any family occasion.
History of Fiesta Dishware and the Color Palette
Fiesta Ware was first made in 1936 in a limited array of colors. The line started with a color palette of five hues. New colors were introduced slowly through the years and others were retired. Collectors began to realize the value and uniqueness of Fiesta dishware.
Homer Laughlin employs over one thousand skilled workers at the Fiesta dishware plant, making it the largest domestic pottery. The company uses special lead-free glazes to create safe and durable contemporary plates, mugs and bowls. The company now has over fifteen colors available and over fifty items to choose from.
Using Fiesta Color Palettes for Kitchen Décor
Fiesta dinnerware can be changed out to decorate for each season. Spring table settings can make full use of a mix of lighter, pastel hues. Summer table tops can be styled with variations of bright yellow, blue and green. Celebrate autumn with rich brown, green and orange. Winter set-ups can have crisp white, black, and bright blue.
Holidays like Christmas can be decorated with red and green Fiesta ware. Baby showers can use peachy-pink, blue and yellow. Nestle various colors in stacks to liven up the table setting.
Decorating with Fiesta Ware
Fiesta ware collectors will often use the various dishes to decorate a china cabinet. The beautiful dinnerware can be displayed in sets by era, color, style and value. Shows are held throughout the country where collectors can view and purchase hard-to-find items.
The vases and other collectibles make beautiful decorations for end tables, wall shelves or any other area that needs a splash of color.
Bright, colorful dinnerware will bring a festive flair to any table setting. Plates, bowls and mugs can be color-coordinated to match special occasions or holidays. Fiesta dinnerware can be displayed by collectors or used daily by consumers. The pottery will stand up to repeated use and can be passed down to future generations.
