Junie Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 After reading another thread that mentioned Fiestaware and sharing what color was purchased, I thought it would be fun to share what color(s) of Fiestaware everyone has. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emba Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Cobalt blue. A friend of mine got equal numbers of two different colors, though, and I wish I’d done that. Cobalt and some sort of red or orange would have gone well together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) My Fiestaware is mostly Scarlet and Lemongrass. I also have one piece of Shamrock. I only have serving dishes, so I can mix and match and use only greens or only red or I can use both. Red and green are my favorite colors, but I like that using the Scarlet and Lemongrass together doesn't feel Christmas-y.

TheReader Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 All the colors. To me, personally, that's the whole point. I love that with the 5 of us, I can mix & match and create different feels for the seasons, etc. Or when we have everyone over, everyone gets a color. Plus if the new color each year is one I like, it's an automatic "no thinking necessary" gift DH can get me at Christmas. My favorites are the various blues, though. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyroo Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Sunflower. That is what I asked for 15 years ago when I got married, and that color still makes me smile when I pull the plates from the cabinet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecropia Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Lapis, Sunflower, and Paprika. They were a good addition to my already mismatched collection of very dark brown and oatmeal colored plates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaniemom Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 My rainbow of Fiestaware makes me happy. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Scarlet, Tangerine, Sunflower, Lemongrass, Peacock, and Lapis. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I have half Peacock and half Lapis - bowls, salad plates and dinner plates. I also have a stack of Plum square plates that are perfect for a quick sandwich. I have a ccouple of serving bowls of Peacock and Lapis each. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) My main stuff is white...mugs, dinner plates, deep bowls, and saucers. Like @peacelovehomeschooling I know I’ll like white for a long time. I was replacing brown dishes when I bought mine, so that was another reason I wanted bright white. However, the colors *are* really pretty so later I bought the buffet plates in mixed blues and greens. We use these at lunch and I like the pop of color in the middle of the day when it’s just the kids and me eating a smaller portion of food. @Junie I love lemongrass! I have one luncheon plate in that color and it’s one of my favorites. ETA: changed ‘luncheon’ to ‘buffet’ bc that’s what I have Edited February 16, 2019 by mmasc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I had to end up buying a set of cheap Corelle to have something that looked nice enough for company). The cereal bowls are the only dishes I've ever owned that you can cook grits and oats in the microwave and not have them run all over the edge and sides of the bowl as they cook. So we love them even though they are not as nice-looking as they once were. Dh scrapes his forks and spoons hard when he eats, so there is no point in buying anymore. I do have a set of mugs that are just really kind of sort of mine. They are hanging under my cabinet on hooks. They are in four bright colors. Lime, orange, red, and cobalt blue. I also have a bright yellow bowl with a handle on the side that is my very favorite. I use it for oatmeal every morning. It doesn't get scratched because dh doesn't use that one. He uses all the ivory ones, and I keep the others unscratched. I love Fiestaware. I think you can use a little Barkeep’s Friend on them to buff out silverware marks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read this too! You should try this @Indigo Blue! You might end of with beautiful ‘new’ dishes. 😊And that stuff is cheap, too, so if it doesn’t work, no big deal.

Lori D. Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) More like, what colors DON'T we have, lol! My grandmother gifted me with her original 1930s dishes, and then starting around 2000, we've collected more fiesta ware. We have so many colors because in addition to adding 2 plates at a time of a color, we also did many single serving pieces (pitcher, large bowl, utensil holder, platters of various sizes, etc.) of different colors. I marked our colors in purple in the list below. In case anyone is interested, here's the chart that I reproduced, and below I attached an image of all the colors. I don't think that color chart is very accurate, because some of the colors on there look much deeper/darker than they are in real life on my table, lol. current colors (1986-present) 2019 - meadow 2018 - mulberry 2017 - daffodil 2015 - slate 2014 - poppy 2013 - lapis 2009 - lemongrass 2008 - ivory 2004 - scarlet 2002 - shamrock 2001 - sunflower 1988 - turquoise 1986 - white 1986 - cobalt limited edition colors (1993-2008) 2008-2012 - marigold 2000-2001 - juniper 1997-1999 - chartreuse 1996-1997 - sapphire 1993-1995 - lilac collectible colors, no longer produced (1936-2018) 2015-2018 - sage 2003-2017 - tangerine 2016-2017 - claret 2010-2016 - paprika 2001-2015 - plum 1986-2014 - black 2005-2014 - peacock 2012-2013 - flamingo 2008-2012 - chocolate 2000-2010 - cinnabar 2007-2010 - evergreen 2006-2009 - heather 1995-2008 - persimmon 1999-2001 - pearl gray 1991-2005 - sea mist green 1989-2006 - periwinkle blue 1986-2005 - rose 1987-2002 - yellow 1986-1998 - apricot 1969-1972 - turf green 1969-1972 - antique gold 1959-1969 - medium green 1951-1959 - gray 1951-1959 - chartreuse 1951-1959 - rose 1937-1969 - turquoise (looks like light blue) 1936-1951 - old ivory 1936-1969 - yellow 1936-1951 - green 1936-1951 - blue (cobalt) 1936-1943/1959-1972 - red (looks like orange) Edited February 17, 2019 by Lori D. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I have mostly bold colors and stay away from pastels. Half of them are in storage right now or I would take a picture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) I have a mixture of the blues/purple: cobalt, lapis, turquoise, dark purple (plum maybe?), periwinkle, peacock. I went with a mix so I could add/subtract pieces easily. I have service for 20 in plates so there is room for variety. We also have bistro bowls, pasta bowls, luncheon plates, fruit bowls and bistro cups. I have a few serving pieces as well. DD20 just got started collecting and went with box sets of yellow (marigold or sunflower, I can't remember). She only got 6 (just her and her dh) so she could decide what to add to it as she needed, and to decide future colors based on her kitchen.

Zoo Keeper Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I have shamrock and scarlet, and I would really like some lapis or sapphire. I love the cheerful bright colors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
