Marigold Bowls
Did you buy the 75th Fiesta anniversary bowls? This is a excerpt from the press release from The Homer Laughlin Company back in 2009. It is very important to note these bowls were discontinued in September 2009 and they had a special 75th anniversary Fiesta stamp on them. If you see them listed for sale buy a set for yourself, they will continue to go up in value.
Availability in the anniversary color, however, was limited to 75 weeks -April 1, 2008 thru Sept. 1, 2009. Marigold is not just for the collector, says Brinkman, it’s for the enthusiast…providing a unique opportunity to become the next generation of collector. Sept. 2, 2009, the baking bowls, in Marigold only, officially retired.
Thereafter, says Brinkman, You were only find the baking bowls in the seven other glazes. The 3-piece baking bowls, ranging in size from 6-1/2 to 2-1/2 quarts, will be displayed in a show-stopping glass case in Marigold at the Homer Laughlin Booth No. S2003, South Building.
The perfect companion piece — expanding on the current bakeware line — each baking bowl emulates the brand’s celebrated design with sculpted, concentric rings, contemporary inspired color palette and beloved back-stamp.
We created a new back-stamp celebrating the 75th anniversary, said Brinkman. Homer Laughlin, too, had modified retail packaging to acknowledge the company’s landmark year and limited availability collections. This is what drives collectors, says Harvey Linn, a collector since 1986.
The baking bowls resembled the original pieces from 1936, making them all the more appealing, finishes Linn. The bottoms of the baking bowls in the remaining glazes featured the signature FIESTA stamp or embossment. Dinnerware and accessories in Marigold followed according to Brinkman –and like the other anniversary color collections was introduced April 1, 2009 and April 1, 2010, 75 weeks later, each officially retired. The regular marigold bowls are still available at inexpensive prices.
