ALL 10 RARE AND HARD TO FIND BEAUTIFUL FIESTA EGG CUPS. I WORKED FOR YEARS TO PUT THIS COLLECTION TOGETHER AND IT'S TIME TO SELL THEM. I'VE DOWNSIZED AND UNABLE TO DISPLAY THEM AS BEFORE. THEY NEED TO BE SHOWN AND NOT STORED AWAY IN A BOX. INFO: THE FIRST 5 COLORS WERE INTRODUCED IN 1936. RED (at one time considered radioactive and contained lead/uranium) WAS RETIRED IN 1943 (WARTIME). COBALT BLUE, LIGHT GREEN AND OLD IVORY WERE RETIRED IN 1951 AND YELLOW WAS RETIRED IN 1959. TURQUOISE... CAME ALONG IN 1937 AND RETIRED IN 1959. IN 1951, THE FINAL 4 CAME ALONG AND WERE SMASH HITS: FOREST GREEN (REALLY DARK), ROSE (SIMPLY A BEAUTIFUL COLOR), CHARTREUSE (GORGEOUS) AND GRAY (NOW THE RAREST OF THEM ALL : I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE 2 OF THESE PRECIOUS PIECES). THAT FINAL 4 WERE ALSO RETIRED IN 1959 WHEN THIS DESIGN OF EGG CUP PRODUCTION HALTED FOREVER. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS GROUP AS A SET AND NOT INDIVIDUALLY AS THEY HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. ALL HAVE THE FIESTA INCISION ON THE BOTTOM AND NOT CHIPPED, HAVE NO CRACKS AND ARE ORIGINAL. I HAVE BEEN A REALLY "PICKY" COLLECTOR FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND ONLY ACQUIRED THE BEST PIECES I COULD FIND. A PURCHASER MUST CONSIDER THAT THESE BEAUTIES WERE MOSTLY HAND FINISHED, DID NOT HAVE "MODERN QUALITY CONTROL" AND THERE ARE DEVIATIONS IN THE GLAZING PROCESS. IT IS CERTAINLY MINOR AND NOT CONSIDERED A "FLAW". SHOULD ANY INTERESTED BUYER DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL EGG CUP, I WOULD BE PLEASED TO SUBMIT SAME. PLEASE USE THE "CONTACT SELLER" OPTION AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE VIEW MY OTHER FIESTA LISTINGS.
