Dinnerware by Fiesta

Easter Selections

How will you set your Easter table? A good place setting doesn’t have to be complicated to make a huge impact. Dinnerware by Fiesta is the best way to create a beautiful table without a lot of fuss.

Fiesta is loved for its flexibility. The ability to mix and match colors is what has made these place settings so popular. There are endless color combinations that would brighten up any Easter tablescape, but we chose turquoise, white, and a new color coming in June 2017: Daffodil. All of the colors offered by Fiesta are vibrant and festive!

Various sets are available, each offering a number of different pieces, but the 3-piece bistro set is very affordable and offers a modern twist on formal dinnerware. We love that this dinnerware can be dressed up for special occasions, but is still completely appropriate for everyday use. All of Fiesta’s dinnerware can go from freezer to oven, fridge to microwave, and directly into the dishwasher when it’s time for cleanup!
