VINTAGE HLC FIESTA WARE DISC WATER PITCHER - ORANGE RED. PRISTINE CONDITION. MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 7" IN HEIGHT, APPROXIMATELY 7.50" IN WIDTH (AT WIDEST POINT). PLEASE EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LOOKING. "fiesta is a line of dinnerware glazed in differing solid colors manufactured and marketed by the homer laughlin china company of newell, west virginia , since 1936 . original shapes were designed by the company's art director, frederick hurten rhead . at its initial introduction in 1936 fiesta was produced in five colors: red (orange red), blue (cobalt), green (light green), yellow (deep golden), and old ivory (yellowish cream). by 1938 , two years into production, a sixth color was added: turquoise ( robin 's egg blue). with the exception of the red, this color assortment remained in production until approximately 1950 . the original red had been discontinued before 1944 (see below). the lack of this vibrant color, plus the general change in society due to the united states' participation in world war ii had caused a slump in sales of the larger serving pieces from the early 1940s . this slump precipitated a drastic reduction in the variety of items produced in the line. accessory items such as candleholders and flower vases, as well as serving pieces such as comports and carafes, were removed from production.
