Circa 1938 to early 1944: There may be no greater universally loved and recognized household item than the kitchen bowl. Nesting bowl sets reached a pinnacle of popularity in the 30s, and the vintage Fiesta set, with a grand total of seven individual bowls, is an ambitous pursuit indeed. Designed to fit so closely, one within another, the complete set of Fiesta nesting bowls may represent the apex of talent coming from the Homer Laughlin Pottery Company in the late 30s. Produced with economy in mind, the fiesta mixing bowls were sold individually and could be mixed and matched in colors to fit any decor or temperment. Red bowls were discontinued earlier than the other colors and will prove harder to find. This example of the #1 nesting bowl in original red will showcase your collection nicely. Without damage or use, its scratch free interior is just what you're looking for in the final, smallest bowl of the set. Marked in the mold on the bottom "HLC fiesta MADE IN U.S.A. 1". Measures 4 15/16" x 3 9/16"
