When did these come out and what are they worth? I also have what I would call a carafe, clear glass with stripes around the bottom half in the same colors as the glasses. Fiesta obviously does not call this a carafe as I can find NOTHING about these. It looks like carafes used for juice or wine, about inches tall. These all have the fiesta name on them, and I don’t doubt their authenticity, I would just like to know their value, if higher than original. I have yet to see another one for sale – can you tell me its value?
I have a 7 piece set of mixing bowls that are marked fiesta. The biggest bowl is green then orange, blue,ivory, yellow, ivory and then orange. Kitchen Kraft – Kitchen Kraft was an extension of the popular Fiesta line made by Homer Laughlin. It was advertised as Fiesta Kitchen Kraft when it was introduced in 1939. This line of bake and serve dinnerware was made in the original Fiesta colors of cobalt blue, light green, red, and yellow introduced in 1939.

The pattern was revived for one year in 1979 to mark the 100th anniversary of Woolworth’s. Harlequin proved very popular and sold throughout the 1950's. Official records indicate the line was discontinued in 1964. Woolworth offered a reissue of Herlequin from 1979 to 1982. The newer issue utilized turquoise, coral, yellow and a variation on medium green.
Virginia Rose – The name Virginia Rose refers to a shape rather than a pattern. Many different decals decorated these elegantly shaped blanks, some of which featured roses and other flowers such as the Armand, Moss Rose, and Fluffy Rose patterns. These are sometimes, erroneously, referenced solely as Virginia Rose as if it were the pattern name.

I have some of the accessories that go with it as well. Can you give me an idea how to seel them, and or how much can I sell the set for. Homer Laughlin launched their Vintage Fiesta pottery line at the beginning of the 1936 and it proved an instant senstation.
Hi, I have a set of glasses Some are tall and some are short juice glasses. They have little “rainbows” all over them in the coral, rose, white, light yellow and aqua colors. I know the rainbows are modeled after the rings in the Fiesta Pottery.

The 1950s ushered in the colors forest green, chartreuse, medium green and gray. Harlequin - This pattern, made from 1938 to 1964, was similar to Fiesta being a concentric ring design. But Harlequin has rings that are separated from the rim by a plain band.
As for the price this is just a estimated value. With all prices guides they go out of date rather quickly. There are many factors in the value of an item including condition of the market, where it is being sold, the condition of the item, and its demand vs availability. Harlequin was never marked, except for its 1979 reissue. So in order to identify a Harlequin piece, one must compare weight, size and colors.
Fiestaware was reissued in 1986 and still being produced today. These pieces where in different colors from the original line of Fiestaware. Fiestaware cups had full circle handles until 1969, when partial circle handles were introduced.
Although it was quite successful, it was discontinued in 1945, according to Replacements.com. Fiesta, a brightly colored line of dinnerware introduced in 1936, was Homer Laughlin China Company’s greatest success. He went to work looking at new shapes and glazes as part of expanding Homer Laughlin’s lines, and designing Fiesta was one of his achievements.
Liz McIlvain assumed the presidency in 2012. Homer Laughlin also made hotel and restaurant china. The company has a contract with the U.S. military to supply china for use by troops at U.S. base camps. In 1870, Homer and Shakespeare Laughlin established Laughlin Pottery, consisting of two pottery kilns in East Liverpool, Ohio.
When establishing value, condition is everything for this atomic age dinnerware. These prices are assuming excellent condition with no chips or cracks or repairs and little wear with only moderate factory flaws. Over time, this thriving business made thousands of patterns of china. Many had decoration variations on the same shapes. A few of the most popular with collectors are detailed below.
Quick to join in the solid color mix and match tableware craze, America's great five and dime department store giant, F. W. Woolworth's contracted Homer Laughlin to design a line exclusively for them. The original release in late 1936, just in time for the holidays, consisted of 16 pieces in four new Homer Laughlin colors— Maroon, Spruce, Yellow , and Blue . The Harlequin line would enjoy great popularity and success and was sold at Woolworths for nearly 29 years. I don’t know how old your comment was, but I am trying to build my mother another collection of fiestaware. She had a good in started when I was young, but hard times forced her to sell it.
Colors in this pattern are ivory, light green, yellow, red, and a medium blue referenced as mauve-blue. Fiestaware was introduced in 1936 by the Homer Laughlin China Company. Fiestaware was redesigned in 1969 and was withdrawn from the market in 1973.
Over its lifespan, it was produced in twelve different glazes. The original colors were mauve blue, yellow, spruce green and maroon. The maroon is unique, and officially referred to as red. In the 1940s, HLC added red, rose, turquoise and light green.
Anyways, if you’re still trying to sell some/all pieces, please get in touch with me. I have an orange fiestaware casserole with lid and handles I got from my mother. As long as I can remember she has had this piece. I would like to know if it is the original ware or a later piece. The bottom reads fiesta and then below that is HLC USA.
