Bakers, Bowls, and Pie Pans from Fiesta

2008_04_11-Fiesta.jpgYesterday we gave you a quick video snapshot of the rainbow of beautiful colors from Fiesta. We love Fiesta's classic durability and made-in-America history. So we couldn't resist showing you a few more photos. Here's their newest product: a return to the classic set of three-sized mixing bowls.

More below, including an up-close look at our favorite color and other new products.

2008_04_11-FiestaBowls3.jpg• The three-piece baking bowls were released in March, and they have a great heft and weight. Three-piece sets of bowls like these are one of our kitchen basics; they are on any list for new cooks and bakers. They are very multi-purpose - cooking, baking, serving, storage. Pretty ones like these can go straight to the table.

2008_04_11-FiestaBowls2.jpg• They are re-releasing one vintage color each year until their 75th anniversary in 2011. This Marigold yellow is this year's retro color.

2008_04_11-FiestaPlates.jpg• Another highlight for us: pie plates and square bakers in classic Fiesta stoneware. These are very well-priced, especially when compared to fancy French versions. As always they are made and shipped from Newell, West Virginia.

I never considered myself some sort of consumer products patriot, but I do like knowing that an iconic brands like Fiesta are still made in the good 'ole USofA (ooh! Lodge is too). I want those mixing bowls

I first heard of Fiestaware because Michael collected it in Armistead Maupin's books. On my first visit to the US (long years ago) I really wanted to see some.

Although I'm not big on hefty mixing bowls, those Fiesta ones certainly do look attractive. And I imagine they'll be quite collectible if Homer Laughlin ever stops making them.
