To celebrate Fiesta tableware's success as well as the brand's 75th anniversary in 2011, the Homer Laughlin China Co. has unveiled three nesting mixing bowls in a special anniversary color: marigold.

Unlike the other classic colors – scarlet, peacock, cobalt, tangerine, sunflower, shamrock, white and evergreen – the new marigold color will be available for only 75 weeks, until Sept. 1, 2009. The bowls, ranging in size from 6 ½ quarts to 2 ½ quarts, each have a special 75th-anniversary stamp on the bottom.

Expect more anniversary pieces to arrive for a special 75-week run beginning April 1, 2009 and again on April 1, 2010.

"We want limited colors that we know will eventually retire and filter into the secondary market," says Sandra Bond, president of the Homer Laughlin China Collectors Association. "We collectors ... we'll go to great lengths to get our hands on limited pieces."
