Circa 1940-1942: The vintage fiesta french casserole is perhaps one of the boldest shapes in the entire line. Originally designed in the spring of 1935, it wasn't until a few extra pieces were added for the promotional campaign in the early 1940s that it was produced. Lots of hand work would be involved to complete this daring piece— the fully fluted handle would have been attached by hand, as well as the finial on top. Note that the finial isn't flared as we find on all the other vintage Fiesta knobs. The outside upper rings would have been etched into the clay by hand on the jiggering machine, but not added to the inside of the bowl, giving us a great, smooth expanse of sunny fiesta yellow. Marked in the mold "HLCo fiesta MADE IN USA". This example is without damage or signs of use. The yellow glaze is lovely, without misses or irregularities and no scratches mar it's surface. Measures 11 13/16" x 4 3/16"
