Know before you buy
This is a standard bistro-style salad plate, typically measuring approximately 7.25 inches in diameter, consistent with the classic Fiesta bistro salad plate dimensions.
Yes, like most authentic Fiesta ceramic dinnerware, this piece is fully vitrified and safe for use in both the microwave and the dishwasher.
New Old Stock refers to an item that was manufactured in the past but has never been sold or used. This plate remains in its original, unused condition, making it a pristine find for collectors.
The VW Bus Harvest pattern is applied as a high-quality ceramic decal before the final firing process, ensuring the design is fused into the glaze for long-term durability.
This item is sold individually as a single unit. Because it was a limited-run exclusive, finding matching sets can be challenging, though it makes for a great standalone accent piece.
