HLCCA - Conference Exclusives

The Fiesta® presentation bowl was introduced in December 1997, 
when the 500 millionth piece of Fiesta® rolled out of the kilns. 
And in 1999, with chartreuse a newer color included in the color palette, presentation bowls in chartreuse were chosen to take center stage as centerpieces for HLCCA's first conference.
