Fiesta at my place!!

[Beachkid23]

This I didn't post on my find to Orlando. It needed cleaned first. I spent $80 on all of it. The large plate looks to sell between $295-395!
This is my first time buying the stuff and I'm pretty excited!























Bummed about the blue bowl, but I'm happy!!!!

Wow....just wow.

I've been buying, selling and collecting Fiesta for years, and still haven't found a mixing bowl set out in the wild. I can't remember the last time I found a tumbler, but I can tell you, it has been years.

Let me know if you need any ID help. I know the colors, sizes, markings, etc.

Just because I am a Fiesta dork, and I'm bored:

The vintage colors appear to be:

Light green, radioactive red (orange), ivory, cobalt, yellow and turquoise.

Make sure you put the word 'vintage' in your listing titles and use the PRE-1986 listing category....whatever that category is called.

I was way off on the plate. I guess it's a 12" plate. No name on it. But they sell like $15. Oops! I never bought this stuff before.



But there is no name on the back.



Here is the ivory bowl, then the vases.



The small cups are blank and the bowls are in the van for the night. I left there probably 50 plates all different sizes but they look newer. Also a set of 6 ivory teacups with saucer plates. She wanted $35 for them. There were some other pieces that had lids on them but they had huge chips in them like the blue bowl did.

Not all of the vintage Fiesta is marked, even though people will tell you that it is. Not all of the Post-86 is marked either, even though they will tell you that at the factory. 99.9% of the Post-86 is, but I've seen plenty that wasn't, despite what they say.

With vintage Fiesta, look for the lower case 'f' in the marking. The Post-86 carries an upper case 'F'.

The original Fiesta was started in the late 1920's, and ended production around 1973. No Fiesta was produced until 1986, and all new colors were issued.

While it maintains the same look, colorful appearance and style, the Post-86 is different than the vintage. P-86 is heavier, thicker, and is classified as commercial grade.

FWIW, I think the 12 inch yellow plate is a chop plate...and prolly not worth $300. If it is, let me know. I have a stack to sell, LOL. The chipped stuff is probably worthless, and not worth listing on ebay, IMO.

The ivory bud vases are cool. Those are still being made.
