Fiestawear's festive look thrives
I've given too many wedding gifts to count in the past three years, but I've noticed a strong trend across my friends' registry lists. It's Fiestawear.
This is a brand of dinnerware sold in 40 different colors, from cool reds to bright yellow and even chocolate brown. Fiestaware dates back to the Great Depression, when a U.S. company decided to produce these colorful bowls, plates and other dinnerware to lift people's moods.
Now, the West Virginia-based Homer Laughlin China Co. remains one of the last major companies to produce dinnerware in the United States. And its Fiestaware line continues to thrive.
Check out this interesting story for the details.
