I have Fiesta and I adore it. I like that the pottery is made in the USA; the colors are great;and it is heavy duty. I can use it in the oven if desired too. I was able to start slowly by buying from the Betty Crocker catalog when that was available. They are very good at marketing by introducing new colors yearly and retiring others to keep me buying. I would like to go to one of the tent sales someday.

Have fun. I got my set of Corelle ware from licking my Dad's Green Stamps. Remember them?? In over 40 years, I have only broken one bowl. I am sure this set of dishware is going to outlive me.

My mom collects Bauer pottery, which has very similar colors and designs to Fiestaware. Whenever I see Fiestaware it reminds me of her. I bought her a Fiestaware table cloth for the table she displays her larger Bauer pieces on, she loves it.

It was in our home when I was growing up in the 50's and makes me sad when I think about how Mother just gave it away. Someone told me it's a good thing I don't have it, because the old pieces had lead in them so I wouldn't want to use it anyway. I still can't pass a display without stopping and admiring it.

I've had my own tent sale. A friend gave me a bunch of Fiesta Ware (when I say a bunch, I do mean a bunch), I just didn't get into it. So the last 3 years I've put a lot into each garage sale I have had. The only reason I'm still getting rid of it is I have so much, I have even given a lot away. LOL

My mother had Fiesta ware when I was growing up. A few years ago I started to buy my own (in more intense colors). I love it, and we use it everyday. I have not had any problems with chipping. It goes into the dishwasher with everything else. I have all of the bright colors, and I love using the different colors.

I went to the Fiesta@ website and clicked a few links, some of it appeared to be "out of stock". It all must have been moved to the tent sale.......lol
