Fiesta 2-Pint Pitcher in Peacock (or possibly Juniper)
Fiesta (HLC - The Homer Laughlin China Company) · Kitchenware & Appliances > Tableware/Dinnerware
Era / Decade
Early 2000s (Peacock was introduced in 2005; Juniper in 1999). Based on the brightness, it is likely Peacock (2005-2015).
Material
Lead-free ceramic/vitrified china with a high-gloss colored glaze.
Condition
Very Good. The glaze appears bright with high luster. No visible cracks or major chips from the front profile, though surface scratches (scuffs) are visible in the reflection that may be 'flea bites' or utensil marks.
Demand Level
Moderate. Fiestaware has a dedicated cult following, but common shapes like the 2-pint pitcher in modern colors are frequently available. Teal/Blue shades remain top sellers.

Description
This is a genuine Fiesta (Fiestaware) 2-pint pitcher featuring a classic Art Deco concentric ring design at the top and base. The color is a vibrant deep teal blue/green, consistent with the discontinued 'Peacock' glaze. It features the iconic integrated handle and a rounded, bulbous body typical of HLC's mid-sized pitchers. Dimensions are approximately 5.75 inches tall.
Key Features
Highly collectible brand; discontinued color (if Peacock or Juniper); durable vitrified ceramic; classic American Art Deco styling; lead-free glaze; multi-purpose as a pitcher or flower vase.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence: High. Features the signature Fiesta concentric rings. Usually marked on the bottom with an impressed or glaze-stamped 'Fiesta USA' logo. The weight and glaze consistency are typical of HLC production.
Flaws to Note
Visible surface scuffs and light scratches in the glaze (seen in the light reflection); potential 'dry foot' wear on the bottom; check for 'flea bite' chips on the rim and spout which are common in thrifted pieces.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for reaching collectors), Etsy (if over 20 years old), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping heavy, fragile ceramics).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Fiestaware', 'Teal', 'Art Deco', and 'Discontinued'. Highlight that it is lead-free. Use 'Pool Noodles' or heavy bubble wrap for shipping as these are prone to handle breakage. Photograph the bottom stamp to confirm the color era.
