apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Love it, mostly because it is minus those ridges that Fiestaware has, which have always kept it from feeling modern enough for me.

I love the cartoonish energy of it, that little yellow teapot looks like it is whistling.

Love the brown!

I love it! I agree with splatgirl, the ridges on the Fiestaware hold it back for me, but these are much more modern!

nothing will ever top fiestaware

oh I love fiestaware. its so classic to me. the colors are so sunny and the ridges and designs are so 30's deco I love it!

these are cute, but I think they are a bit too modern for me. fiesta has stood the test of time. I don't know that I would like to see these in my kitchen still in 5-10 years.

I might be the minority but I dont like it...! It just reminds me of the 80's-90's ultra-modern decor. Im more of a pattern person I guess. ;)

I love my fiestaware - this ulta modern version I think will eventually look dated.

I don't care for this. It looks like Fiestaware mated with Alessi salt shakers. It has qualities of both brands and looks like a mish mosh.

I will love Fiesta forever! I just got a "chocolate" soup bowl today. It's such a wonderful rich color I want to eat it. The thing I love about Fiesta is the way it looks like hand thrown pottery with the "ribbed" lines around it. Not to mention it's really durable.

That said, this stuff is really cute too, and I would not at all be opposed to mixing and matching the two.

When I got married I registered for fiestaware, the 4 pc. set, in 12 different colors. I got 11 sets and my cupboard looks awesome with the frosted glass doors and you can see all the colorful dishes. Plus, all the accessories which only come in certain colors always match. I also love that when I serve dinner, I can select plate colors that highlight the foods nicely (sweet potato soup looks beautiful in the dark purple and navy bowls, green beans and broccoli look nice on the yellows and oranges... etc.)
That being said, I love the shapes of the sengware- and there are times I wish the fiestaware was more modern looking....

Fiestaware is a classic. I think it just comes down to personal aesthetic. I'm a potter. I like my pieces to feel like they've got a certain heft and those "lines" that dissuade certain others I consider a signature mark of both quality and longevity. Classic is always modern.

The lines on these dishes are pretty, but the lips and handles do not look like they'd stand up well to repeated use. I can't tell you how many times my Fiestaware cups and dishes have clanked together and managed to come away unscathed. I wouldn't expect the same of these. I don't know. I think this look will date very quickly.

This is cute stuff. But my family is from Ohio/West Virginia, so I'll always be partial to Fiestaware. It's a little piece of home.

I'm with you ilima. I'm a recent deep south transplant (originally Ohio) and I need my reminders of home so I'm having my coffee in a tangerine java mug. No one knows how long Sengware will be making their pieces but Fiesta has been around for a long time (30's I think).

I love that accessory pot up there, I would buy it! I also have a large collection of Fiestaware and wouldn't trade it for the world. "Lighter Porcelain" doesn't seem like a benefit to me anyway. I use my feistaware regularly with my 3 kids and it is holding up well. I can't wait to get a piece of the new chocolate color.

Yes, but is any of it radioactive?
