I may have forgotten to mention that we’ll be sleeping on feather pillows this coming weekend! OK, to bed I go.

As it turns out, we got a good deal on the Fiesta plates at the Brimfield show. My research turned up positive news that the marking on the back is consistent with pre-80s manufacture. Also, the yellow is not consistent with the new yellow that was created in the mid-80s. While there are scratches and discoloration on the plates, we pretty much paid what someone would pay for just one plate on eBay. I don’t think they’re from the 30s, and I don’t know that I have the time or inclination to find out what year they were made, but it’s nice to have my first Fiesta pieces and know that they are vintage.
