HLC Announces Third Piece in Marigold

Here are excerpts from the HLC press release:

The Homer Laughlin China Company™ is just one year away from celebrating the 75th Anniversary of its iconic Fiesta® Dinnerware Brand, made in the USA. The manufacturer unveiled a third collectible piece in limited edition color Marigold at the International Home & Housewares Show. Following the launch of the Three Piece Mixing Bowls (2008) and 19 ¼-inch Oval Serving Platter (2009), Homer Laughlin is releasing a 2PC Prep Baking Bowl Set in 75th Anniversary color Marigold.

“The 2PC Prep Baking Bowl Set is the perfect complement for those who already have the Three Piece Mixing Bowl Set or even for those who are looking for some versatile pieces to add to their kitchen. In 75th Anniversary color, Marigold, the bowls are a colorful addition for any cook’s collection,” says Fiesta Dinnerware’s Rich Brinkman.

The 2PC Prep Baking Bowl Set will be available in 75th Anniversary color Marigold, as well as 10 additional Fiesta colors: Scarlet, Cobalt, Tangerine, Sunflower, Peacock, Shamrock, White, Ivory, Turquoise, and Lemongrass. The collectible bowls in Marigold will only be available for 75 weeks – from April 1, 2010 through September 1, 2011.

The larger bowl is 2 quarts and the smaller 1 1/8-quart bowl fits neatly within it. The two bowls nest perfectly within the already released Three Piece Mixing Bowl Set.

In celebration of the impending 75th Anniversary in 2011, the first installment of collectible pieces was the Three Piece Mixing Bowl Set. Now retired, the collectible Marigold bowls were only available for 75 weeks – from April 1, 2008 to September 1, 2009. However, the Mixing Bowls are still available in the following Fiesta colors: Scarlet, Cobalt, Tangerine, Sunflower, Peacock, Shamrock, White, Ivory, Turquoise, and Lemongrass.

The second 75th Anniversary piece was the 19 ¼-inch Oval Serving Platter. The Marigold color will only be available until September 1, 2010. It will be available in coordinating colors – Scarlet, Cobalt, Tangerine, Sunflower, Peacock, Shamrock, White, and Ivory – following the retirement of the piece in Marigold.

The fourth and final collectible item will be released in 2011 to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Fiesta Dinnerware brand.

The 75th Anniversary 2PC Prep Baking Bowl Set in Marigold will be available at select fine department and specialty stores from April 1, 2010 through September 1, 2011.
