WVU Fiesta Dinnerware at WVU Hospitals Gift Shop
Add to your Fiestaware® collection — or your West Virginia University memorabilia collection — and help the Friends of WVU Hospitals at the same time. By special arrangement with the Homer Laughlin China Co., the Friends are distributors of a line of Fiesta® items emblazoned with WVU symbols.
Several Fiesta items are available: dinner plates, chop plates, mugs, pitchers and tool crocks. Each are sold in three color schemes — gold with blue accents, blue with gold, and white with blue-and-gold. Some items include the "Flying WV" logo, others have "The Mountaineer."
"They are very popular," says Pat Antion, manager of the Friends Gift Shop on the first floor of WVU Hospitals. The pattern are sold through the WVU Hospitals gift shop and the gift shop web site, www.wvuhgift.com.
Antion worked with the manufacturer of Fiesta Dinnerware, Homer Laughlin China Co., in Newell, W.Va., to develop the special line.
"It's been a fun project and these are pieces you won't see everywhere," Antion said.
Fiesta® is manufactured by Homer Laughlin in Newell, West Virginia, and is used and collected all over the world.
