I received a question from Jerry, an auctioner that has 6 yellow fiesta plates with red stripes. They have the fiesta logo on the back.

I believe these plates were sold by Sears as a cake set in the 1940's. A set was made up of a 10" plate and either four or eight 7" plates. There were green or maroon stripes on ivory or yellow plates. The stripes were painted on after the plate was fired, so they do not wear well.

There was a 10 inch plate, meant to put the cake on, and either 4 or 6 plates were sold with the cake plate as a 5 or 7 piece set.

These are considered fairly rare and the money value of them should be about 3 to 5 times the value of other plates produced around the same time.

There were two early style striped plates, one with green stripes and one with red, but both colors of stripes were put on ivory pieces, not on yellow pieces.

If any of you have a picture of your striped Fiesta, the rest of us would love to see it !!!!
