Your one stop source for Post 86 and vintage Fiesta® dinnerware information.
Now that the Fiesta® pieces are updated it should be easy to keep the information current.
The site is being updated with decorated patterns at this time.
I know a lot of you have used the guide for many years and I thank you. I hope you will enjoy the new and much improved website. It’s been a major labor of love over the past 9 months. However, my circumstances have changed since my husband passed away in 2020. I can no longer afford to maintain the site at my expense on my fixed income. There are quite a few costs to keep the website updated and compliant with all the new technology, not to mention the cost of the pottery for photos. (Hence the minimal yearly fee) As long as the site can pay for itself, I will keep the site going. In the meantime, I will be trying out the Amazon Affiliate program to help with the cost, so you will see links to purchase pieces through Amazon or its affiliates. I may get a slight commission from purchases made from the links. I will continue to investigate additional ways to help cover the cost.
I have included some of the vintage Fiesta®, Amberstone, Casualstone and Fiesta® Ironstone pieces so that you can determine if you have a Post 86 or vintage Fiesta® piece. The measurements shown are for comparison and informational purposes in helping you to determine exactly what piece(s) you have. However, remember Fiesta® is pottery and each piece is a little different, so your measurements may be a little different than what is stated in on the site.
I have quite a few ideas that I want to implement into the website in the near future so make sure you follow my Facebook page Post 86 Reference Guide or on Instagram Post 86 Reference Guide.
You can also purchase my book “Post 86 Reference Guide” in eBook on Amazon, order the paperback version on eBay.
If you find a mistake, have a question, a topic you would like included or even a suggestion, please email me at [email protected].
Enjoy the guide & happy dishing,
