Fiesta Ware Fruit Bowl, 1936-1951
01
Artifact Overview
Colorful Fiesta ware was one of many inexpensive, yet fashionable dinnerware sets produced for the middle market during the Great Depression, sold at retailers like F.W. Woolworth's, Kresge, and department store bargain basements. Thanks to revived interest in Art Deco, the line was resurrected in 1986 by the Homer Laughlin China Company, and remains in production today.
