If you are looking to purchase Fiestaware,
please
email me directly. My Fiesta collection is available for sale. I try to keep a full collection of every piece, in every color, in stock at all times.
When establishing value, condition is everything for this atomic age dinnerware.
These prices are assuming excellent condition with no chips or cracks or repairs and little to no wear with only moderate factory flaws. Discount 20% for factory flaws that are extrememly noticable and also for moderate wear, discount 30% for small dings into the pottery, up to 80% for cracks and repairs. Nesting bowls and regular plates will show the most wear and in truely excellent condition could see a price increase by 25%. Also add 25% increase in value for nesting bowls that have rings on the inside bottom and for very early discontinued pieces, such as the 12" divided plate, the onion soup bowl and cake plate. Increase up to 25% for early variaitons (such as dry foot on a utility tray or flat bottom cups). Red will always bring a premium price, as it did at the time of production. The uranium used in the glaze made it more expensive to produce, top that with the halting of red's production during WWII - it just makes red more valuable.
Prices in Orange are from the "Collector's Encyclopedia of Fiesta: Tenth Edition" (2006). Bob and Sharon Huxford have been the leading authorities on Homer Laughlin pottery for the last 30 years. I was privileged enough to be consulted during the compilation of this latest addition, and you will find my name, Heidi Kellner, listed in the acknowledgments. The prices in green are from "Warman's FiestaWare Identification & Price Guide" (2004).
