I have always liked vintage Fiestaware. And over the weekend I scored some for myself and it’s from the 1950s and it’s really cool. And it was a bargain. Fiestaware can get quite pricey.
Something about it that just makes you smile – I think it’s because the colors are so happy. But I only like the vintage, the modern styles and colors do nothing for me.
Years ago when my cousin Suzy was still alive I remember doing antique trips with her and there were a couple places in and around New Hope/Flemington/Lambertville that sold a lot of true vintage Fiestaware. One of the stores in New Jersey in particular still stands out in my mind’s eye. They had tons of Fiestaware and a lot of Russian nesting dolls. I wish I could remember the names of the stores but I can’t.
Anyway I just thought I would share this vintage score. And yes I am using it as every day china. That’s what it was designed for.
We use it everyday. It does make you smile and food looks so tasty on the bright colors. I was given an entire set of 12 for a wedding gift. The engagement went bad and had to return it…1958. Now I love it and just have an odd assortment. Can’t put the old Fiesta in the Micro though.
