Amazon.com Review
The perfect set to kick off a Fiestaware collection, equip a college dorm room, or pair with other Fiestaware pieces for a larger set, this four-piece place setting from Fiestaware consists of a dinner plate, salad plate, bowl, and mug. Celebrated in the 1940s, '50s, and '60s for its streamlined art deco look and colorful glazes, Fiestaware is enjoying a remarkable comeback today. All pieces in this set have the signature Fiestaware rings and match Fiestaware pieces in white or bolder colors such as persimmon or juniper. With over 50 Fiestaware dinnerware and accessory pieces to choose from, you can build your collection over time starting with this one-person set. The 100 percent lead-free glaze is nonporous, so it won't absorb foods, and it's durable enough to withstand the microwave and dishwasher. Some stainless-steel flatware may leave marks on the plates, but these can be easily removed with a nonabrasive cleanser. --Emily Wolf

Customer Reviews

Black has a special meaning in our home
We do not have just one color. I buy at least one piece of each new color that comes out. So, we have a hodge-podge of colors. We have one black piece. It is a dinner plate and my husband knows he is in trouble when I set his place with THE BLACK PLATE. We only use it when someone is in "hot water." Just thought everyone would appreciate our family tradition.

Pleased, but have to agree with others...
I just received the last of 12 4-piece sets (2 each of six colors) that I just ordered and in general I am very pleased with the product, but I do have a couple of minors issues to share.

1. I just noticed that one of the Shamrock plates is a little wobbly on the table. I wish I had noticed that before we had used it two or three times, but the plate has always been used by other family members. Not a big deal, but come back to quality control issues that most people mention.

2. Also as others have mentioned, there are some glaze imperfections on some of the pieces. Usually around the white ring on the base of the plates and bowls or a little on the handles of the mugs. Does not really deter from the usefulness of the product -- I might not have even noticed if it were not for some of the reviews.

3. Finally, I did start to wonder if these items had production flaws or if Amazon is selling "seconds" or returns. I hope this is not the case since Amazon does not disclose these items as such, but I had a couple of things that make me wonder.

a. Inconsistent packaging material in boxes
b. Department store price tag on a bowl in one set
c. Packed in plain boxes instead of colorful one like at local stores
d. Issues with tangerine set as described below
e. The glaze issues, the wobbly plate, other's comments.

Despite the items above, I am please with the Fiestaware and like it a whole lot better than the Pfaltzgraff we replaced.

A couple of notes with regard to Amazon:
1. I did go to other sites to judge colors because the Amazon colors are pretty much wrong on about half the items.

2. I have a major production flaw on one set (purple dots on a tangerine mug). Amazon did a great job of replacing that set, but the 2nd set arrived broken (only breakage I had, it also was replaced by Amazon, no issue). My real concern with this broken replacement set appeared to be opened and then re-packaged. The outside packing tape was double taped instead on the normal single tape, and an inside piece of packing material was in upside down (I believe this is why the plate broke in transit).

Scarlet completes my color scheme!
I had a total of six colors in the contemporary Fiesta, and have loved them all. However there was something missing... I just received two, four piece place settings in the scarlet, and they are STUNNING! It brings out the beauty in all of the rest of my colors. The color is of a maraschino cherry, bold bright, and beautiful!
