Circa 1938 to 1942: The upper circumfrence of the #6 Fiesta bowl measures nearly 31" around. That is wider than many waists, so it is no wonder the #6 bowls have a super presence. In relationship to that great expanse, this bowls minor glaze skps on its outside don't deter from it's stunning look. What I notice in this bowl is its vast cobalt glaze, wonderful scratch free inside (which is so important on the vintage cobalt which shows its use the most of any color). The glaze is fantastic, nice and even, rich and magestic as only cobalt can be. (Please note the small glaze skips, one shown on the outside rim in the 1st photo at about 3 o'clock, another smaller one on the inside lip can be seen in photo 7 at about 10 o'clock and there is another small one on the outside under the rings, shown in the 9th photo - all of these are minor facotry flaws and don't detract from what is a rare and stunning beauty).

Hand dipped and tooled the #6 bowls were produced in far less quanitites than its smaller siblings, and it is the #6 and #7 Fiesta mixing bowls which will prove the hardest for the collector to find. Becoming heavy and very large at this size they were not as widely used as the other bowls. Whether you are framing your set, or displaying on shelves, the large #6 fiesta nesting bowl is a delight to add to your collection. Nicely marked on the bottom in the mold with the impressed mark "HCLo fiesta MADE IN USA" and a nicely visible number 6. Measures an impressive 9 11/16" w x 6 5/16h"
