As reported earlier, the new “kid” on the block in the world of Fiestaware is Ivory. The Homer Laughlin China Company made the decision to discontinue Persimmon to make room in their line.
I always wondered if discontinuing a color was because of needng production space to not mix the different colors in the firing process, or was it because store shelves only held a set many and stores wouldn’t want to carry an unlimited number of colors. One of the verified reasons is that with every new color, the overall palatte is adjusted so that more colors compliment eachother and can be mixed in a table setting.
My personal style is to have one piece of some colors just as representative.
Right now, it is a good time to purchase any pieces of Persimmon that you might have been wanting. Some retailers are sure to be offering it as a discount while supplies last. Sites like Replacements.com may have the color for years to come, but you will be paying a premium for them based on demand.
