- 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, Copco one of these licensees manufactured a trivet made from wood with a 6” diameter ceramic hot plate. A disk pitcher and teapot shape were tested as a design.
- The teapot shape was the shape that was produced. It was tested in the Fiesta® colors of Rose, Periwinkle Blue. As shown in the illustration to the right, Periwinkle Blue was the color choice. (Photo courtesy of Sally Masterbray)
- The illustration to the left shows a disk pitcher prototype trivet. In Mark Gonzalez’s book “Collecting Fiesta® Lu-Ray & Other Colorware” (page 79) he shows this same style trivet but with a Persimmon Dancing Lady trivet as the inserted hot plate.
