Introduction to Fiesta Dinnerware
Fiesta dinnerware, America’s favorite dinnerware, was introduced by The Homer Laughlin China Company in January 1936 at the Pittsburgh China and Glass Show. The creation of Frederick Hurten Rhead, a second-generation Stoke-on-Trent potter and Homer Laughlin’s design director, Fiesta was an immediate hit with the public. By its second year of production, over one million pieces were produced, showcasing the original five colors: Red, Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Green, and Ivory. Turquoise was added to the collection in 1937.
History of Fiesta
The shapes of Fiesta were designed in an Art Deco style, featuring concentric circles that highlighted the bright colors. The first six colors were produced throughout the 1930s and 1940s until a change in fashion direction led to a shift towards softer pastel colors in the 1950s. As color trends moved back to brighter colors in the early 1960s, Fiesta adapted to the trend. After 37 years of production, Fiesta was retired in 1972. However, it soon became popular among collectors, particularly those with childhood memories of this brightly colored dinnerware.
