- In the mid to late 1990’s, HLC wanted to expand the Fiesta® brand, so they contracted with outside companies to produce official Fiesta® licensed products.
- Sometime in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s Designers Collection, one of these licensees manufactured napkin rings made from wood and wrapped with a cording. They were available in White, Black, Rose, Apricot, Yellow, Turquoise, Periwinkle Blue, Sea Mist Green, Persimmon, and Chartreuse. Rose and Persimmon are illustrated to the left.
- Another one of these companies produced napkin rings that looked like the pottery rings but were made from resin as illustrated to the left. The resin one is to the right.
- You can easily tell the difference by the weight, as well as looking at the bottom of each.
- The napkin rings produced at HLC are dry (no glazed), the resin ones are colored as illustrated to the right.
- The resin ones were produced in Black, Rose, Yellow, Turquoise, Periwinkle Blue, Sea Mist Green, Persimmon and possibly a few other colors.
- In 2016 (approx.) Town & Country Living licensed another style napkin ring made from heavy plastic/resin which showcased the Fiesta® name incised into the ring itself. They were sold in a package of six in different colors, Sunflower, Lapis, Scarlet, Lemongrass, Cobalt Blue, and Tangerine or Poppy, as illustrated to the right.
