My new Fiestaware!!

Newgate — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 00:00:16 GMT

I recently decided to upgrade my kitchen dishes. I bought Fiestaware dinner plates, salad plates, and luncheon plates!

Then I asked for some serving pieces for Christmas from my children! I am all set now! I bought the color "daffodil" which is a bright yellow/gold! I love it!!

I am sure some of you out there have Fiestaware.

What color do you have or what mixture of colors do you use?

I have the color Lemongrass which is a warm green color. I love my dinnerware!

I have or had most colors of Fiestaware. We don’t need any more sets so I buy one or two pieces when a new color is introduced.

I have had Fiesta dishes for over 30 years, and still love looking at the vibrant combination of colors on my table. I try to have every color they offer, but occasionally I will miss one. I also love Le Creuset for cooking, and collect their various colors, although I am partial to the purples, since it picks up a shade in my granite.

When I was first married, I had the traditional Pfaltzgraff dishes, and then decided I needed some color that Fiesta provided. It is also nice to buy from an American company.

Enjoy your new dishes! They will last you a lifetime.

I have & love my fiesta ware in Persimmon, a really pretty orange shade. I recently bought some new pieces from replacements.com. This shade hasn’t been in the stores for about 15 years. picking your color from fiesta is great fun!

There was a thread about this recently, fun to hear about Fiesta. I have a vintage set with chartreuse, forest, gray and rose.

I have post 1986 cobalt blue which is the darkest blue like navy and I love it! It’s fun to hear what color or colors everyone has. Enjoy your pretty daffodil dishes!

I have mostly Flamingo colored Fiesta. It's a discontinued color (sadly lol). Kind of a coral/pink.

Enjoy your Daffodil dishes!

I have lots of cobalt pieces and some lemongrass items as complements. Over the years, I've also tried to purchase every color of the bread trays, small bistro bowls, and ramekins because they make great displays for quick breads, salsas and dips, and other accompaniments for buffets and parties. (And they also make a lovely rainbow in my "party cabinet." )

My next door neighbor works at Fiesta ware up the river from me about 15 miles. I've never owned any, but my daughter in law had a large set, then one day her cupboard broke off the wall, because they were so heavy. She now has a new kitchen and a different brand of dishes. My sister dated a boy from Newel when she was in college in the 40's and she has a mixture to this day of them, very old. I never liked them, thought they were too chunky.They have days you can go to the factory and go through seconds, I've been there, still wouldn't want any of them.

I have a few cobalt pieces... LOVE their baking dishes!... everything holds up well, but they do tend to be a bit heavy....

I never could decide on a favorite color so my set consists of just about every color they offer.

@Newgate---I did the same thing a year ago--emptied out my old, chipped, boring white junk and bought all the colors of the fiesta line. My fave is the poppy and can't wait for the new color, Meadow. got a few pieces of last years color, Mulberry. Even been finding some of the retired fiestware online to buy. Would love open shelves to be able to see my bright, happy dishes. I use them everyday. My avatar is of my dishes on my countertop. I have a few pieces of the sugar skulls and vine as well as some Xmas pieces too. Enjoy!!!!!

I never tried FW. I have seven or eight polish stoneware serving/baking pieces. Love the flowers. A few old Temptation pieces but my dinnerware is Corelle. Light and beautiful and near 30 years old. Enjoy all the beautiful colors. I don’t need another addiction. 😀 but I know you ladies enjoy your colorful FW! Enjoy!

I don't have Fiesta, but two of my kids do and they love them. If I weren't so old, I would invest in it, but can't see doing it at my age . I also do think they would be too heavy for me to handle. I do love the fact that they are made in the USA!

I do change my mugs every season. I have Debbie Mumm ones, but could never find any for fall, so I got Fiesta java mugs in 4 different fall colors.....love them!

Enjoy your Fiesta!

Switched to Fiesta a few years back and I love to open my cabinets and see all the bright colors....it makes me feel happy. I will say I have a few Corelle dishes salvaged from closing my mother's home and I still like the weight of these. As I age, they may be my go to in the kitchen.

Welcome to Fiestaware! I started out 27 years ago with Seamist exclusively. Over the last 3-4 years decided to switch it out for a place setting in each of the primaries and brights. Love the look of crayons when I open my cupboards. All of my pieces are in daily rotation. I don't buy pieces for display only. They are practically indestructible. Still have and use my Seamist pieces that I didn't trade or sell.
