Fiesta dinnerware, produced by Homer Laughlin, is one attractive and popular way to add some interest to the table. However, to use it correctly, you'll need to make sure it has the care it requires. If you don't protect the appearance and integrity of your tableware, it won't last. The good news is that caring for Fiesta dinnerware doesn't have to be hard. Here are a few tips.

Fiestaware Care

Just like any other kind of ceramic dinnerware, Fiesta dishes are best hand washed. Use only mild soaps that have no lemon derived scents or oils in them, as these could damage the finish. Even if your Fiesta dinnerware is mostly a display piece, wash it once or more every year. All Fiesta ware should be kept clean, even those that spend all their time in display cases.

One common issue that collectors and users of Fiesta dinnerware may experience is unsightly marks caused by utensils, especially on light green, yellow, or ivory plates. Fortunately, this type of dinnerware was made to be used every day. That means it's durable and well made, and utensil marks are removable.

Using a soft metal polish or other gentle abrasive will help you remove marks from the surface of your ceramics. However, after you use these types of cleaners, you'll need to clean the dishes thoroughly. This will remove all traces of the cleaner. Never use harsh chemicals on ceramics, as they can cause damage. Don't use harsh scrubbers on the surface of Fiesta ware, either.

Take care not to break or scratch your Fiesta dinnerware. These pieces can be hard to replace. Instead, place it on hard surfaces gently, without allowing it to bump into other pieces. Fiesta dinnerware should never be placed on the stove top or in the oven, and should be stored with a cloth or other protector between pieces to prevent breakage in the cabinet.

Storage

Store vintage Fiesta dinnerware In a display cabinet or using a china storage set. Use holders made for bowls and plates to keep tableware in good shape if you're displaying it, and make sure that all holders have smooth surfaces.

Make sure that any holders you use are made for the size and weight plate or bowl that you're displaying. This prevents accidents. You can also store Fiesta ware flat, but be sure to dust your pieces periodically.

Caring for your set of Fiesta dinnerware well means that it'll stay as useful and attractive as it was when you first bought it. It'll also make sure that your dinnerware lasts a long time. To get the most out of your Homer Laughlin Fiesta dinnerware, be sure to pay attention to how you treat it. You'll be glad you did in the long run.
