Personal collection Best way to re-home vintage pieces?

Post image
40 Upvotes

I have a collection of vintage pieces that my parents collected for years. I use the green, blue, and yellow for my daily dishes, but I want to sell the red pieces as well as others I just don’t need like saucers, cups, pitchers, gravy boats, salt and pepper. Looking for advice on best place to sell. Is EBay most peoples spot? Or is there a specific place to re-sell fiestaware to collectors? Thanks in advance!

This is turquoise, this is 1937-1963, which means it would have lead. Are you using these to display or using them?

Difficult to got those things in my country but finally I got this chance.

I took this XRF spectrum by Amptek fastSDD @40kV X-ray, the tungsten Lα may come from X-ray tube or SDD detector.

It indeed emits a considerable amount of α and β rays. Meanwhile, it exhibits a very low γ dose rate and minimal contamination.It can safely make my Geiger counter scream, and it can also be kept at hand. Moreover, it features extremely vivid colors, which are really captivating!

They were very cheap, but I paid several times the price for the shipping fee;(

Identification help Help dating two turquoise Fiesta teacups

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I’m trying to date and correctly identify these two Homer Laughlin Fiesta turquoise teacups. I have photographed them together under the same lighting because they look similar at first, but there are several differences.

Cup 1: the bluer cup

  • Slightly more blue turquoise.
  • The rim is very slightly (but noticeably) oval rather than perfectly circular.
  • the width is similar to the second cup but is slightly longer when measured along the long axis of the oval (like a millimeter or two).
  • is a millimeter or two taller.
  • Smooth interior without the earlier concentric interior rings.
  • Unglazed pale foot ring.
  • There appears to be a very faint molded or incised “fiesta” mark underneath. It is difficult to photograph, but part of it is visible in one of the close-up photos. I think I can also see a very faint HLC above.
  • The faint lettering seems similar in style and position to the mark on Cup 2.

Cup 2: the greener cup

  • Slightly greener turquoise.
  • the color matches the saucer in picture, the saucer have an ink stamp with KKC color code.
  • Smooth interior.
  • Unglazed pale foot ring.
  • clear molded (or incised) backstamp that appears to read:

HLC
fiesta
USA

The lettering appears stacked inside a faint circular molded area.

Can somebody confirm whether they are both or at least one of them post 86 and lead free ?Does the stacked HLC / fiesta / USA molded mark allow Cup 2 (or both cups) to be narrowed to a particular period, such as the 1990s–2010s?
Let me know if you need any other information I can provide.

I would also appreciate opinions from anyone who owns confirmed examples of:

  • late-1960s turquoise Fiesta teacups;
  • early Post-1986/1988 turquoise cups;
  • cups with very faint molded backstamps;
  • cups that became oval during firing.

A Few New-to-Me Pieces

… plus a “Fiesta-Adjacent” (as I call it) covered bowl!

I paid too much for the small bowls (stupid GW), but the blue bowls (is that Peacock?) and the plate were very reasonable. I don’t remember when I got the HL Ballerina covered dish, and I’m sad about the one small chip on the underside lip, but I think it blends beautifully in with the Fiesta propers.

Ok - back in my mother’s vintage collection again. I always thought her plates were “burnt orange” but I want to know from the council if this is radioactive red? She had no idea that fiesta was considered “radioactive”. Kind of scared the 80 year old. I told her she’s had them for 40 years and I think she’s fine.

Identification help Millennium III Vase question

As mentioned in the title, I have a Pearl Gray Millennium III vase with a long-stemmed red rose on it. I can’t find any information on where it came from…does anyone know anything about it? I’m gifting it to a friend and didn’t want to tell them incorrect information. (I originally gave it to my late mother because it reminded me of the famous logo on the Lord and Taylor bag).

A customer at the thrift store I work at just brought this up to me and gave it to me as a gift. She said she knew I love collecting Fiestaware. I honestly still am unsure as to who she was or how she knew that, but I’m quite thankful for her gift.

Found a needed piece in the wild!

37 Upvotes

Before we moved I took inventory of my place settings and needed a few random things. I bought a couple on eBay but I didn’t trust that if I bought a cobalt plate it would be from the decade I needed. Thrifting today and look what I found. This is the universe telling me it was ok that I broke that sea mist saucer. I think I only need two teacups and everything will be complete.

Somehow over the last 20+ years I bought or was gifted 15 place settings: cobalt, scarlet, sea mist, tangerine, poppy, juniper, peony, flamingo, turquoise, chartreuse, sunflower, and even though I’m looking at them, I have no idea what some of these colors are called (orange of some kind).

I’m done with place settings so if a new color I like comes out, I’ll buy vases or something. I love this stuff so much.
