FIESTA WARE CUPS & SAUCERS:
Vintage Fiesta TeaCup:
The earliest cups (1 year production) have flat inner bottoms because the flared foot was put on by hand. Their matching saucers will have 5 rings around the base. The next stage of cups are smooth on the bottom inside, but still have rings on the inside, finally the inside rings disappeared and eventually the ringed cuphandle was restyled in the 60's to be quite bland
Notice the flat bottoms on all but the medium green (center)?
The handles of the teacups and coffee mugs and the finials on the lids of teapots and casseroles are slip cast items that must be hand applied.
Marks:
Ink stamp on saucer, teacups unmarked.

1936 - 1969
