Fiestaware by Homer Laughlin

Q I’m clearing my mom’s estate and found a vintage Fiestaware 6-piece relish set with a red base that is in wonderful condition. Can you tell me it’s value?

A Fiesta was introduced by the Homer Laughlin China Co. in 1936. It was redesigned in 1969, withdrawn in 1973, and reissued again in 1986 in different colors. It is still being made. The 6-piece set includes four relish dishes around a small round dish, all on a circular pottery tray. The tray and inserts came in a variety of solid colors. In some sets each piece is a different color and some sets are all one color. Most sets sell at auction for $65 to $130. A very rare set of medium green inserts on the red base sold recently for over $7,000.
