Fiestaware Reviews

When I was first married 28 years ago and registering housewares preferences at the local department store, my father teased me about choosing fine china and what he called "throwing china", the everyday stuff. Well, if anybody every throws Fiestaware at you, duck! Good, strong, sturdy stuff.

I have had better luck buying the open stock pieces than buying sets -- the glaze in some of the plates in sets has been flawed. I get both cobalt and periwinkle, and have found that the cobalt shows flaws more readily than the lighter color.

Collecting two colors is fun. There are some colors that I just don't want to eat off of, but blue makes everything look tasty. Cobalt seems to present food more dramatically, but periwinkle makes for a nice "blue plate special" too.

I have occasionally noticed restaurants using Fiestaware, which is an accurate testament to the product's durability.

I have used the same Fiesta Ware for the last 12 years and I have not broken a piece yet! Even when my 2 teenage boys were babies, and doing dishes, a piece may have slipped out of their hands, but nothing was ever broken. This shows how durable the Fiesta Ware really is. I would highly recommend Fiesta Ware to everyone of all ages. I own 3-20 piece settings at the present time and plan on expanding. I like the fact that you can collect all different colors and it looks great! I will be ordering more for when my 2 boys go to college. I plan on ordering my mother a 20 piece set for her birthday. I love it and I know you would toooo!

My only beef with these mugs is that they're so big. I own the smaller Fiestaware mugs too, and I complained about those being too small, but seriously - I wish there were a middle ground. Though I'd take 'too big' over too small any day. You can have a big cuppa tea or coffee or soup with these things. An excellent multitasker, I've even used mine to store cups of broth in the freezer. These definitely need some sort of tight-fitting lid developed for them for better storage in the fridge or freezer.

brilliant nicely shaped monster mugs. look great, but we still keep reaching for the old regular-style non-fiestaware mugs cause the jumbo ones are often just too much (and we live in texas, where oversized is always better). definitely agree with previous reviewer who wishes there were an in-between size from fiestaware. those little mugs with the pretty but useless ring handles don't work, and the wonderful jumbo mug is overkill for normal use. i'd vote for keeping the design, just scaling it down a bit.

I have these and love them. I'm glad I didn't waste my time with some look-alikes I saw. These are the same quality as the rest of my Fiestaware and match perfectly. I use these for hot cocoa loaded down with marshallows, chili, soup, cereal. It's a bowl, it's a cup. The cup is heavy enough that it can sustain some abuse from daily use and keep you from getting burned by the hot stuff inside. I really love these cups!
