This is Fiesta’s 12-inch Round Baking and Serving Platter in Scarlet — a ceramic flat round in the Scarlet fire-engine red glaze, in continuous production since 1936, with enough oven-rating to handle a personal pizza, a sheet of roasted vegetables, or a round of appetizers straight from the oven. Twelve inches is pizza-stone sized; it fits a standard home-made pizza without crowding the crust.
The platter doubles as a serving piece — the color and glaze make it a legitimate table centerpiece rather than a utility round. Scarlet is the most recognizable Fiesta color and reads as a deliberate centerpiece on the table — the platter becomes the visual focus rather than a neutral base. Dishwasher, microwave, and oven-safe to 500°F, which is what lets it go from the oven directly to the table.
Fiesta has been making this dinnerware at its factory in Newell, West Virginia since 1936 — one of the longest-running domestic pottery operations in the country. Every piece is cast, fired, and glazed at that Newell plant, which is why the colors stay consistent from one collection to the next.
