Solid-Colored Dinnerware: Depression to Mid-Century

by Mark Gonzalez

The popular collectible dinnerware lines of our time are highlighted in this new book, principally Fiesta and Lu-Ray, plus other lines that are often confused with one another. Accompanied by a price guide and over 500 color illustrations, author Mark Gonzalez highlights the companies and the lines they produced. Look back at a previous time (1930s to 1960s) when bold dinnerware in Fiesta-type colors (red, cobalt, yellow, green, maroon, turquoise) and pastel glazes were "in" with consumers. American-made, solid-colored dinnerware features a wide array of shapes, in dozens of colors, made over approximately four decades.
