FIESTA® was introduced by the Homer Laughlin China Company in 1936. Made in the Art Deco style with concentric circles highlighting the colors, it has always been known for its array of colors in both bright and pastel colors. Although the pattern was retired in 1972, it was reintroduced in production in 1986 and has become "America's favorite dinnerware."
FIESTA® dinnerware has been a bridal registry favorite at Detten's since 2004. We stock placesettings of new color introductions, and keep an assortment of serving and accent pieces in stock at all times. Since 2004, the company has retired Rose, Seamist, Periwinkle, Persimmon, Heather, and Evergreen. In fact, it is very likely that we have pieces of each of these colors in stock if you are trying to add to your collection. Through the years we have seen the introductions of Scarlet, Peacock, Heather, Evergreen, Ivory, Chocolate and Lemongrass.
If you like FIESTA® but are unsure of which color(s) to select and/or purchase, we suggest selecting one favorite color as your collection base in 8 placesettings, then accenting with other favorite colors in multiples of 2's.
FIESTA® is currently available in the following colors: (in order, from left to right) Chocolate, Ivory, Lemongrass, Sunflower, Tangerine, Scarlet, Cinnabar (retiring in June, 2010), Plum, Cobalt, Peacock, Turquoise, Shamrock, Evergreen (retired in March, 2010), Black and White.
Watch for FIESTA®'s new color introduction, Paprika, this summer.
