Limited Edition Polka-Dot Fiesta!

Introduced at HLCCA Conference 2010 in Nashville, TN, Polka-Dot Fiesta dinnerware was inspired by Rosie the Riveter's polka-dot bandana from this year's HLCCA Fiesta juice pitcher. Pieces available include 10-inch plates, 7-inch plates and classic ring-handled mugs in your choice of WHITE with SCARLET polka dots or SCARLET with WHITE polka dots. An order form was included with the Winter 2010 issue of The Dish. Polka-Dot Fiesta may also be ordered on line soon at the HLCCA website.

Just in time for the 75th anniversary of Fiesta dinnerware in 2011, the US Postal Service will issue a series of stamps honoring Fiesta designer Frederick Hurten Rhead and 11 other pioneers of American industrial design.  The F.H. Rhead stamp features a red Fiesta disk water pitcher and a yellow Fiesta disk juice pitcher.
