Fiesta 7-1/4-Inch Salad Plate, Tangerine

I give this a 5 for quality. It's very well made. Not too heavy, as most Fiesta products are. My only complaint is the color. I needed Ivory but it's much darker, I would call it tan.

I use Amazon - a lot. 22 orders in the last six months. I recently decided to try to order Fiestaware thru Amazon, because it is hard to find all the colors I want in the quantity I want from any brick-and-mortar merchants. So I ordered 6 dinner plates and 6 salad plates. I got that package with 1 of each plate broken. So I ordered 3 more of each, 1 to replace the broken piece and 2 to bring the total to 8 of each dish. That package came and as soon as I picked it up I heard broken pieces inside. Ugh. The box was too large for the items and they were just loose in there. None of the boxes I received with dishes or porcelains in them were marked as Fragile, packed with any special care, or handled by the shipper in any special manner. This is a big mistake on Amazon's part. If they are going to sell these items, they must take their fragility into consideration with special packaging and packages marked as Fragile.Very frustrating and a puzzling oversight by Amazon. I ended going to Macy's, who did not have all the pieces I wanted but are going to ship them to me with no shipping charge. They told me they do package the dishes with care, so we will see.--- I'm editing the review because I did what I hate when others do it - I basically reviewed the shipment rather than the product. Regarding the product - I just re-vamped my dish situation after many years of putting up with mismatched old sets from my youth. I decided to open up one of my cabinets and put some colorful dishes in it to add more color to my house. I decided on Fiesta, which I have always liked. I got tangerine, shamrock, turquoise, sunflower and peacock items and I could not be happier with the result. Now my kitchen - and open great-room - are punched up with these vibrant colors.The shamrock is stunning against cherry cabinets. Both the shamrock and turquoise colors are prettier and more vibrant than appears online. I see more pieces coming in my future!

Plate came extremely well packaged.It is the color and size that I needed to replace a broken one

It's amazing these items are still in production. It matches my existing Fiestaware. Love it!

Photos show this plate in comparison to cobalt Fiestaware from 2007.Deleted/edited original review: After just receiving a small shipment of a 2018 color of Fiesta direct from Homer Laughlin, I’m updating my review with apologies to the seller. I do believe this piece to be authentic; it is just of a very different quality/feel as my precious pieces and does not match the same color in the collection, even though cobalt has not been retired or reintroduced in the interim.This plate is a LOT thicker/heavier than the pieces I originally collected a little over 10 years ago. I’m still returning; it doesn’t look right next to my other cobalt pieces. The cobalt color is extremely saturated, which makes the detailing seem muddy and the stamp is very, very barely visible. Really need to look for it in direct sun.In regard to receiving a dirty, dusty plate - the same was true of the pieces received direct from Homer Laughlin. Not sure why this is, but apparently normal packing process. Arrived wrapped in thick bubble wrap and cardboard, same as HL as well.

When I was growing up, my mom had a very colorful set of Fiesta she had inherited from her own mother. My favorite Fiesta color of all time is the red/orange vintage color, no longer produced. When my wife and I married years ago, we registered for two sets of Fiesta--a fuller set in white, and a partial set of various colors. We have the dinner plates, lunch plates, salad plates, and cereal bowls in white for our main use, and a few other pieces in both white and various colors for serving bowls, dessert, etc. We use the white for everyday use and mix in the color on special occasions. This is beautiful dishware no matter what color you get. Elegant enough to impress guests, but sturdy and functional for everyday use. I love that there are so many pieces to mix and match from, and so many colors that rotate from time to time. They have been making this for decades now, so you can buy in confidence knowing that you can expand your collection over time or replace pieces. Of course, if you drop something on the tile floor, it might break, which is why we had to buy a few replacement salad plates in white recently.

I ordered this “sunflower” salad plate to replace one that was bought in 2003. At some point the shape of the slope of these Fiesta ware plates had changed… so it doesn’t fit perfectly with my set from 2003 because the sides are steeper. The color matches much better than the picture would lead you to believe. Still a quality product.

These plates are very nice and will fit well with the other Fiesta dishes that I have begun to collect. They are the perfect size for a sandwich or my morning toast and are good quality and made in the USA. The reason I gave them only four stars is that I personally think the 7-1/4 inch size is a bit small for a salad plate. Maybe my objection is a function of the large portions that many American restaurants commonly serve, but this plate will certainly not hold the salad that I generally serve at home either. These small plates are great and I use them every day, but anyone buying them to use as a salad plate will very likely be disappointed. I would suggest that the Fiesta 14 oz. small bowl or even the 19oz. medium bowl as a better option for individual servings of salad.
