Re: Help needed: Fiesta Ware

[John Andrews <andrewsjp@chartertn.net>]

Here is another reference on this stuff that I found in an antique shop 

yesterrday.  It is a book about the Fiesta and Lu-Ray colorware.  

"Collecting Fiesta, Lu-Ray & Other Colorware" by Mark Gonzales, 

published by LW Book Sales, Gas City Iowa.  Has lots of details about 

the different items.
