Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fiesta Turquoise 488 3-5/8-Inch Round Candlestick Holders, Set of 2Customer Review: Too Much Imperfection is Too Much Imperfection Summary: 1 Stars
To us, typical Fiestaware pieces have great design, color, durability and functioning wrapped up all-in-one. We ordered a set of Turquoise Candlesticks and were disappointed because the candlestick openings are very disparate in size and shape and it was obvious if one chose to use candles it would be a task to insert them properly with "straight candle" results. Even more disappointing was the quality of the color application to the product. Specifically, the lack of even color application to the scrollwork and edges of the bases plus around the edges of the openings for the candles. We were sent a replacement set which had even more color variation but the openings for the candles were shaped somewhat better. We are returning both sets because they are not pleasing to view due to the shaping and color variations. Fiestaware can have a color variation that is subtle and uniform, a kind of "softer" look in the color application around the rims on plates, for example, and the piece will still look beautiful. We don't want to pay for a product that is not as pleasing to the eye as the rest of our Fiestaware products far exceed the quality of these pieces.
Description of Fiesta Turquoise 488 3-5/8-Inch Round Candlestick Holders, Set of 2These round candlesticks are a great gift for the Fiestaware enthusiast and a fitting addition to any casual or retro décor. Consisting of a square base with a round ball on top and supported by four small scroll-like feet, the candlesticks are playfully anthropomorphic and deco in design. Their elegant scroll motifs also recall Greek and Roman columns--an interesting design twist. Fiestaware was popular from the 1930s to the 1960s for its streamlined, deco design and is enjoying a remarkable comeback; today's Fiestaware is made from the same molds as the originals with a new color palette and 100 percent lead-free glaze. The signature Fiestaware rings around the top of the ball make these candlesticks a clear companion to other Fiestaware pieces in turquoise or other colors. --Emily Wolf
