Vintage Fiesta and Other Homer Laughlin Fruit Bowls (Circa 1936-1969) The 5 ½" fiesta fruit bowls were highly utilitarian pieces of the tableware line. The larger 5 ½" bowl was part of the original release in 1936. The most interesting feature to note is that the earliest bowls will have an extra band of rings around their base next to the foot and will be marked simply "fiesta HLC USA". By the end of 1937 this extra band of rings was removed and the mark was changed to "fiesta MADE IN USA". Both sized bowls can be found in all eleven colors with the medium green 4 ¾" fruit bowl being rare because that sized bowl was discontinued in 1959, right as medium green was being released.
