We hand inspect each item for chips or cracks before it leaves our warehouse for shipping to our customers.

These attributes are characteristic of the craft from which it was made.

We started in business in the late 1980's selling Vintage Fiesta® Dinnerware, Bauer, & other Early California Pottery/Architectural Garden Ware and Vintage Tiles. Our business continually expanded and by the mid-1990's we operated 3-stores in the L.A. Area. In 1994 we were approached by Homer Laughlin Southern California Rep Group to consider selling the newer Fiesta® dinnerware line. We accepted the opportunity as it allowed us to increase our customer base greatly with America's most widely recognized & collected dinnerware in the U.S. We also understood that Fiesta® Dinnerware was mostly being sold through the department store chains and only a small portion of the extensive Fiesta® Dinnerware line was available there.
Our stores were large enough to display & stock the entire Fiesta® Dinnerware line, every piece in every color and every available accessory which attributed to our continued success. Also starting in 1994 the factory introduced its first of four limited production colors, Lilac. What followed with Lilac was a series of limited production pieces that were selling faster than they could reach our shelves. This told us that Homer Laughlin created a new generation of excited Collectors-Fiesta® Dinnerware Enthusiasts that were seeking out the that hard to find or limited production items. This excitement continued aggressively with the next 3-limited production colors, Sapphire, Chartreuse & Juniper and through the New Millennium. There were several limited production items produced over the next few years that are cherished and well kept by the advanced collectors.
What's unique with our Post 86 Fiesta® Dinnerware inventory is, it allows advanced or recent collectors a second opportunity to own that hard to find piece or limited production item in a retired color. Keep in mind that our inventory is still new and has never been sold to the Consumer. A large amount of Fiesta® Dinnerware offered for sale on the web today is a dealer's hand picked factory second or a piece that is used or pre-owned and offered in new condition, but these pieces are still considered used or pre-owned. We represent 100% of our Post 86 Retired Fiesta® Dinnerware Inventory was purchased new as first quality factory direct, or factory direct from a Fiesta® Distributor or new from a Speciality Retailers that sold Fiesta® Dinnerware exclusives.
