Classic Blue and Yellow

Or as it is known in Fiesta speak ...... Sapphire and Sunflower.

The world would be a much grimmer place without color.

Come away from the dark side and play in the rainbow of Fiesta colors.

I'm joining Artie for his new meme Vignette Fridays over at Color Outside The Lines.

and

Cindy's Show and Tell Friday at My Romantic Home

and

I'm joining everyone over at Bargain Hunting With Laurie for A Few of My Favorite Things.

This vintage tablecloth is paired with two of the Fiesta blues .... Periwinkle and

Sapphire, plus Sunflower.  Vintage Fiesta Cobalt Blue in the form of the Marmalade

Jar and the Sauce Boat are also joining in this celebration of classic yellow and blue.

Contemporary napkins with a vintage feel are paired with $1 napkin rings from

Bed Bath Beyond, along with vintage American Directoire sterling.

Fiesta can play with the everyday as well as the fancy stuff!

Vintage Cobalt Fiesta Sauce Boat

It takes a sharp eye and some experience to distinguish between contemporary

Sapphire (very limited run and initially it was an exclusive for Bloomie's )
and vintage Cobalt.  Making this comparison even more confusing is that the
creamer was an item that was not officially produced in Sapphire, but there
are a few of them out there.  The covered sugar has the classic vintage finial and
handles in this Cobalt example.

This Fiesta Dripcut Syrup Pitcher and Cream Soup Bowl are vintage Yellow Fiesta.

One of the newest items recently released is the Fiesta Jam Jar in Sunflower and White, with a

Sapphire not officially produced Juice Pitcher just in the image at the left.  The tall pitcher clad in

Fiesta Sunflower glaze is from a very short lived line called Fiestaware2000 and was produced for

a charity auction for the East Liverpool High School Alumni Association.

The "crystalline" glazed carafe at the center of the table is another piece of contemporary

Fiesta that was produced especially for one of the ELHSAA auctions.  The Periwinkle

Juice pitcher alongside the Carafe is an oddity with the interior glazed in Turquoise and the

exterior in Periwinkle.  When the glaze is applied prior to firing, the different colors are almost

indistinguishable from one and other.

To finish off, here's the anatomy of the place setting.

Berry bowl and luncheon plate in Sunflower, salad plate in Periwinkle

and dinner plate in Sapphire.
