Circa: 1937-1942. The tripod candle holders are perhaps the hardest pieces of vintage fiesta pottery to find without damage. With 27 corners on the tiers it is all too common to find them with chips on the edges. Since I make it a practice not to buy Fiesta pottery with any damage it took a long time to make my first purchase of a pair of the candle holders (occassionally a single will appear, but it is the rare treat to find an original pair in mint condition). This example in turquoise boasts perfect condition.

Circa 1937-1942: The stick handled design is only found on a few of the fiesta pottery pieces. Here it is showcased on one of the most prized possessions in the Fiesta collection — the Turquoise Stick Handled Demitasse Coffeepot. Referred to as a Chocolate Pot by designer Fredick Rhead, the AD coffeepot will serve 8 demitasse cups (or 4 twice!). The piece was highly labor intensive to make, consisting of four individually cast parts, with the finial and the handle being hand applied. The spout hole was even created manually and can thus vary in size. The turquoise example is the most elusive and was perhaps produced in fewer numbers as it will always prove hardest to find. Standing a respectable 7 5/8" tall and 6 7/8" wide.

Circa 1938-1942: Well, here it is the king daddy of them all - the giant #7 Fiesta nesting bowl. The sheer size of this bowl begs the question "What were they thinking at Homer Laughlin?" Even undertaking such a large piece of pottery, using the hand techniques of the late 30s, seems brazen indeed. Not only would the piece have to be spun around on a jiggering machine to be hand tooled on the inside, but it would then have to be fired once, then set to cool for days, then hand dipped in the finicky turquoise and fired again. But the painstaking method is worth it, for the final result is one of the highlights of the entire line...

Circa 1938 to 1942: Original turquoise from the 1930s and early 40s was usually a pesky color, prone to wide shifts of glaze variations, luckily this version was hand dipped by a master and made it through all of the hand work and double firing to be presented to us in spectacular factory mint condition. Homer Laughlin pottery is plagued with numerous and a wide variety of factory flaws that can happen at any time in its multi-process making. In fact, so common were their factory flaws that they gave leeway for up to ten factory flaws before they would even downgrade an A+ rating. So, this amazing version of the large #5 fiesta nesting bowl would have been given the double thumbs up and sent out to a five and dime store for some lucky family to take home with them and call their own. Measures 8 9/16" w x 5 11/16h"

Circa 1938 to 1942: Here's a vintage turquoise Fiesta #2 nesting bowl that is quite an anomaly. It bears the early mark that should be associated with inside bottom rings, yet the bottom inside is smooth. This lead me to assume this is a transistion bowl made right at the beginning of 1938 or shortly thereafter. In any case, it's in stunning shape— absolutely beautiful. Without a scratch or any damage to mar its bold and shiney surface it is a stunning example. No chips, no dings, no spoon taps, no scratches from use and no glaze irregularities. Nests perfectly and is a brilliant blue that will not disappoint. Interestingly marked in the mold on the bottom with the ealry mark "fiesta HLCo USA. 2". Measures 5 7/8" w x 3 15/16h"
