The Homer Laughlin China Co. is unveiling its new Fiesta dinnerware color for 2013— Lapis blue— at the International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago. The entire 2013 Fiesta color spectrum includes: White, Black, Shamrock, Cobalt, Lapis, Peacock, Turquoise, Paprika, Lemongrass, Ivory, Sunflower, Tangerine, Flamingo, Scarlet and Plum.
“Fiesta enthusiasts will be excited to see this vibrant color join the Fiesta family,” said Rich Brinkman, vp/sales and marketing for Homer Laughlin. “It’s reminiscent of the highly sought-after Sapphire, a vintage Fiesta color made in 1996-7 for a limited time only. However, Lapis is a richer, more intense hue and coordinates beautifully with the current Fiesta spectrum.”
“We don’t often think about blue as being a ‘cheery color,’ but this special shade Lapis reminds me of an intensely blue sky on a clear day and that always makes me smile!” said color expert Leatrice Eiseman.
All standard dinnerware pieces will be available in Lapis, including four and five-piece place settings and a variety of plates, platters, bowls, cups, vases, the signature disk pitcher and serving pieces. MAP pricing for place settings is $29.99.
