Iconic, collectible, and purple, Fiesta purple dinnerware looks elegant on a classy dinner table and casual enough for everyday use.  Hand-made in the U.S.A, this purple dishware is great for home or restaurants.

They're made with lead-free glaze, rich purple color, signature styling, and timeless designs that stick around for years (so you'll be able to get more down the road if that dish-frisbee game goes awry). 

The mfr. says Fiesta dinnerware items (such as plates) are oven safe to at least 350F degrees, while bakeware (such as baking trays) are designed for up to 500F degrees.  They recommend against putting the items on a stovetop or directly under a broiler.

Please keep this in mind: As Fiesta is hand-made and fired in an old school factory, each piece is unique and you'll see occasional porcelain dimples or scuffs (which show more on the dark colors) as part of the process.  They're made in an old workshop with a process used since 1936; these are part of the charm and character of Fiesta!
