I love Fiesta! I have used it for over 20 years - and the new stuff is VERY durable!

My favorite color changes, but right now I love the peacock blue.

I have almost all the colors. I have passed on a few.

Alisand, I'm crazy about Fiesta! I love bright colors....I always have. I don't know why I've never bought any. The colors you've mentioned very much appeal to me, and I would have to have some of that peacock color.

I can see where this is going to lead.....:-)

Uh-oh....I see what you mean, Rhizo. Not to encourage you or anything, but Macy's has a good sale on Fiesta right now, and if you order online and use the promo code TICKET you'll get an extra 20% off. Free shipping for $99 and above.

I also ordered some from Kohls. They have Fiesta on sale too. Prices not quite as good as Macy's, but not bad. The promo code SWEETSAVE will get you an extra 15% off. Free shipping for $75 and above.

I'm just sayin'...... LOL

I love bright colors too. I have some of the old Fiesta. My favorite colors are turquoise and yellow. I have a navy blue bowl that I am fond of, and some plates in green, yellow and a couple of chop plates that are turquoise and gray. I have two pieces of new Fiesta....they are pink, soup bowls, I think. I got them for free, and I am not crazy about them because they have such wide rims. I only took them so I could give them to someone else. All of my dishes are "old" and my favorite ones are old restaurant ware.

Koo koo over Fiesta ware! DH afraid cupboard most are in will fall down, well he put it up, just add more screws!
It's a habit with me, I have 9 place settings, but now when a new color comes out I only buy one item. Bought one flamingo dinner plate and gave dd one of another color. She got me started on this and now when I give her my "extras" she takes them to her cottage.
Did anyone see the new "large butter dish"? I may need one. Also a new large/tall coffee mug. Saw both at Kohl's.
I've gotten a lot of mine from Beall's of Floida and at zestydishes.com.

alisande..on your mom's older pieces any in red? remember, don't use them....

i gave up my stoneware ages ago...i just couldn't handle the weight putting and taking out of the cabinet...went to corelle...light weight but really really bland, lol...

No red. Most of my mom's are dark (Cobalt) blue, with a couple of dinner plates in yellow and green, and a vegetable serving bowl in orange.

Does the old red have something toxic in it?

I like the colors but prefer Corning due to weight. I have a set I got at an outlet over 10 years ago that are really pretty blue and white. But I do love the Fiesta colors.

I remember my mother had this set in the late 1940s. I seem to specifically remember the yellow, turquoise, salmon. But she had a mixture of colors and the pitchers too.

I bought a bunch a few years back.I like them because they are made in the USA. I couldn't decide on one color so I bought them in every color the store had. I love them.

it sure is...

That's so pretty, Sue! What a nice gift. I did look at eBay--and I'm sure I will again--but shipping is understandably high, and although I'm always drawn to old things, this time I'm gravitating toward the newer. But I love "the hunt," so I'll be checking from time to time.

Susanjf, now I'm concerned. I said my bowl is orange, and that's what it looks like to me. But the video mentioned a "red-orange color." And check out these pictures:

"Fiesta red" dishes

On my screen they look orange--like my bowl.

I love my bowl, but radiation is a big issue with me since I received so much of it as a child. I don't want to overreact, especially since I don't know if my bowl is "Fiesta red" or something else.....

I have some in Seafoam green and a lighter blue. I've had and used them for years and the last time my DD was home she dropped and broke one of the plates. I bought my first 4 plates at a garage sale and got the rest later as a gift.

I also have a couple of the cat bowls and a dog bowl.

I love the stuff! Would like some pieces in the Peacock Blue next.

Another Fiesta lover here! At last count I had over 250 pieces in every color made. The only originals are my grandmother's mixing bowls. And yes, 2 of them are red.

They're in the back row of the picture. I also have what she called Fiesta, but it is in fact Harlequin. Also made by Homer Laughlin as a cheaper alternative and sold at Woolworth's. Some pieces are in front of the bowls on the shelf. I also have 8 assorted color place settings. Yep, those are red, too!

I went on a similar spree last year from Macy's! I did the peacock blue, purple and ivory. They look so pretty together.

You have the perfect setting for them Woodsy! Your collection sounds fabulous.

Chi, my daughter gave the peacock blue to my daughter-in-law for Christmas, and my DIL bought a few ivory pieces after that. I'll have to suggest the purple to her.

I had a few pieces (a blue pitcher and a few serving pieces)my Mother gave me when I graduated college and set up my first apartment. Sadly, all have managed to get broken. I am such a klutz!

We have a Fiesta Outlet about 45 minutes south of the house (in Flatwoods, WV on I-79). I have gotten a few pieces. I like the weight. The cats' water bowl is Fiesta- I needed one with a flat bottom and straight sides, we have a water fountain pump that sits in the bowl. We also have a few of the royal blue cereal bowls that are a nice size.

One can order direct from the company -- Homer Laughlin -- and their pricing is very good -- they do have a 1-800 number, but I don't know what it is. Or "Google" Homer Laughlin and it will show up.

I've ordered many pieces from the company direct -- fast service, great prices, and definitely will keep ordering.

I didn't know that, Dee--thanks! Here's a link.

Go over to shopgoodwill.com, search for fiesta. They always have alot of the stuff on the auction.

Add me to the list of Fiesta lovers. We also added a few extra screws to the wall when we put up the cabinets. Couldn't decide on what color so I picked several and went with it. Still love them all today. The only time I've had a couple break is when my dd put the cups in the cabinets all weird and they tumbled out on each other. In 20 some years that was only 2 or 3 small cups that broke! (knock on wood)
I like all the colors about the same but the dark blue would be my first choice of the colors.
Lots of good links here :)

I love the Fiesta dinnerware, too. Such beautiful colors. I always enjoy looking at the display of them in the store. Kind of brightens my day. If I didn't have two sets of dishes already I would consider buying them. My girls bought me stoneware dishes a few years ago for Christmas. We had redid our kitchen. They are the Corning-ware stoneware. They are dark red with the black on the bottom. Our daughter found serving pieces the following year for me. I really like them other then the weight. They come with a large dinner plate and a smaller salad plate. We use the smaller one most of the time.

I like the Fiestaware, but not a collector. My boyfriend has 9 of the luncheon plates, 2 dinner plates, and 2 bread & butter plates from his previous marriage. He wants to sell them but know idea what sites we could post them on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I remember mom's Fiestaware in the 1940s. Loved the big, round pitchers that were used for milk or water at the dinner table and were also brought out to the yard with Kool-ade on hot summer days when the neighborhood kids were splashing in our wading pool. We were the only folks with a large wading pool. Dad bought it and it was galvanized metal, about 12 feet diameter and was designed to be a trough for farm animals.

I have quite a bit of the old Fiesta ware. I have three pieces of the new and they were given to me...all are pink. Two are soup bowls, I think....but they have a very wide rim. The other bowl is a smaller bowl...not sure what you'd call it....smaller than a vegetable bowl, bigger than a soup bowl. I don't like the two with the broad rims, and I don't like the color pink...especially on the soup bowls. My favorite colors are turquoise, blue, and chartreuse and gray on the old pieces I have.

I see from the picture above that my pink bowl is a salad bowl. I use it for a soup bowl.

I think it's very pretty. I don't own any. I prefer Corelle simply because of the weight. I had stoneware dishes before, pretty, but heavy and didn't fit in the dishwasher as well as the thin corelleware.

If anyone is still shopping for Fiestaware or anything else from Kohls, I have a 30% off coupon, good til today, April 2. Shopping online, use code BUNNY30 at checkout. If you ordered something between March 25 - April 2 I would call and ask for the 30% discount.

About 20 years ago when my old everyday china became too chipped to use, I began buying Fiesta Ware. I have Shamrock and a previous incarnation of Lemongrass. I love the weight and feel of it. I have plates, salad bowls, dessert plates, small fruit bowls, chili cups, and many serving pieces. I found an outlet for seconds in Zanesville OH and added some pieces from there....we're not by that way very often, fortunately for my budget and storage space. The house where we stay in the winter has lots of old FiestaWare, mostly pastels. Interestingly enough, when this vacation house was new, a cabinet collapsed, taking lots of Fiesta Ware with it. There is a recycling bin full of broken Fiesta in the storage room. The home's owner intends to mosaic with it "some day". Incidentally, you can buy boxes of broken Fiesta at the Zanesville outlet I mentioned, if crafts are your thing.

I don't have any of it but my Aunt used it when I was growing up and I always loved it. I recently saw this set of placemats at Tuesday Morning and couldn't resist. I haven't used them yet as I thought I might embroider an initial on them...Placemats

One of Brad's deals today is Fiesta Ware....Is this a good deal??? Brad usually has great bargains

Kohl's has the 5-piece place setting on sale for $29.99, and Amazon charges $10 more. So I'd say the Brad's code at Macy's is a very good deal!
