Wendi Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I've needed new dishes for awhile. I couldn't make up my mind about the color, so I got an assortment. We will have a colorful table! Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepyl Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I love my fiesta ware. I could not decide either. For college graduation, my mom have me the light yellow, pink, light blue, and turquoise - two of each. Then for our wedding we registered for a few more.....we now have 20 place settings in 10 colors......:blushing: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 You'll love it! I just got my first fiesta dishes right around Thanksgiving. I got lemongrass (my favorite), white and peacock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganCupcake Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 We've been gradually acquiring some, too! We have shamrock, plum, lemongrass, peacock, tangerine, and sunflower so far! I want to get scarlet and cobalt, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 LOVE fiesta! We have 5 or 6 colors. I'd love more! We've been using ours for a good 12 years and I don't think we've ever broken a piece. They're great looking, family friendly table ware. Good pick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldberry Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I've been looking at cobalt Fiesta longingly for quite awhile. I've never had Fiesta before. Are they really durable? We seem to break dishes easily. I can't decide if we are just really hard on dishes or my dishes are really just cheap (which they are!)

I want to get scarlet and cobalt, too. The lemongrass and sunflower look so good together with a few white pieces thrown in (Sunflower is on my to-be-acquired list.). So does the lemongrass and cobalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I was recently given my first few pieces (for my birthday)! I have a couple of "accessories" in Peacock I keep out on the counters--a creamer/sugar/tray set by the coffee pot and a large disc pitcher for flowers above the sink. It looks all beachy. :001_smile: Oh, and I got some yellow cereal bowls. I've been wanting some cheery, sunny, yellow breakfast dishes for the kids.

luvnlattes Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I got Fiestaware for Christmas. I did the assortment of colors and absolutely love it! I'm excited for you :) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 I got chocolate, shamrock, scarlet, turquoise, plum, and sunflower. There are only three of us, so we can mix things up as we like. I ordered dinner plates, luncheon plates, and chowder bowls, as well as a platter, serving bowl, and pitcher. (Dh got an unexpected bonus, so I splurged.) When I have the money, I want to add some of the jumbo cups. I'll probably want to have every color eventually. :D I love color! This is my first set of new dishes since we got married 20 years ago. I grew tired of that design, and over half the pieces have gotten broken. I've been cleaning out and reorganizing my cabinets, and I can't wait to see how pretty my colorful dishes will look in my nice cabinets.

kitten18 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I have 8 place settings of white. I have added colors to that. My favorite colors are Scarlet, Turquoise, and Peacock. I really LOVE the Turquoise and Peacock and I am not a blue person at all, I generally like browns and oranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganCupcake Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I just ordered my scarlet and cobalt sets. Kohl's has them back in stock and I had a coupon. :D Now I will have my rainbow in the cupboards! They seem very durable. We haven't had ours that long, but we haven't broken or chipped any, and I am even brave enough to give my 3.5 year old one of the plates sometimes.

We seem to break dishes easily. I can't decide if we are just really hard on dishes or my dishes are really just cheap (which they are!) I have had mine for 11.5 years, we have broken 3 pieces and chipped one. And my kids help load the dishwasher. Of course....one that broke was my chip/dip plate in a discontinued color :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I have never been happy with a set of dishes until I got Fiesta!!! I hate boring. I love color :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeacefulChaos Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 We got Fiesta when we got married. :) We have persimmon (which is now discontinued, I believe). My grandma has picked up more for me that I don't have room for yet. But I also got some Pier 1 dishes when we got married and they are such junk...I'll replace them with the Fiesta soon. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwjx2khsmj Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'd love to have Fiesta. I have a nice set of Pfaltzgraf Filigree and for the holiday season, Winterberry. They are only eight years old and they aren't being broken very quickly so I suppose I'll wait awhile on the Fiesta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I would love to have just the bowls - is this only sold in sets? Does someone have a great site for buying piecemeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Some stores sell them in pieces-Dillards and jCPenny, I think. Bed bath and beyond did for a while. You can order them online. We have a fiestaware store down the street from our house :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cin Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 We have lemongrass, orange, red and peacock. I really liked the purple, but we were going with brights. My ascessories are all red, for Christmastime. I might add some more at a later date, but 12 place settings for 4 people is plenty. Oh, I bought mine at Kohls with a 30% off coupon.

aliall Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 We just got a mix of paprika, lemongrass, and sunflower. I love them so much. They replaced 15 year old Pfaltgraff that was getting so chipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shoppohs Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 My fiestaware soap dispenser does not dispense any more. I think we wore it out. Any ideas on ordering a replacement dispenser? It is larger than the ones off of other soft soap type dispensers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 My grandmother gave me her set (from the 1930s) when DH and I got married. I absolutely adore them. So colorful, and I have a great time doing different color combos -- yellow/orange/green for spring; ivory/cobalt/turquoise for winter holidays…. DH has added a few to our set. We use the Fiestaware for all the family holidays and big dinners, which is extra-special to me -- my childhood memory of eating off of Fiestaware on Christmas Eve with all the relatives. :) My original set colors include: marigold yellow old ivory turquoise (a light blue) cobalt (a dark blue) red (a deep orange) It includes these cute cups with perfectly round handles, and an adorable yellow pitcher. DH has filled in with pieces in new, beautiful colors, including a utensil holder, a butter dish, a large pitcher, a platter, several large serving bowls, and a few dinner and salad plates, and a set of bowls, and with the new colors -- turquoise (that green/blue), paprika, tangerine, plum... I do not put ANY of them in the oven. I do microwave the NEW bowls. I put everything in the dishwasher. So far, only 2 items have been broken over the many years we've had them. And grandma's fiestaware is 80 years old... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie in VA Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 For some reason I find myself ogling Fiestaware after Christmas, when I am totally broke. I love looking at the colors though, and would have to have an assortment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratford Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I got an assortment of Fiesta for my birthday last year....I love my dishes! I have scarlet, cobalt, shamrock, marigold, peacock, and paprika. Everyone in the family has gravitated toward a favorite color. Dinner is more fun now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 So fun! I started my collection at Christmas, receiving pieces from various family members. We have 12 settings: 2 each of scarlet, sunflower, shamrock, plum, lapis, and black. I also have some of the bigger bowls. My colors are inspired by Mary Engelbreit's bold prints. My kitchen is decorated with ME. I LOVE them. DH even randomly told me he loved them last week. We actually took off our kitchen cupboard doors to show off the fun colors.
