This is Fiesta’s Medium Oval Serving Platter in Turquoise — an 11 5/8-inch oval in the aqua-blue Turquoise glaze that’s been in continuous production since the 1930s. The oval shape is the right silhouette for items that don’t fit a round platter cleanly: whole roasted chicken, a filet of salmon, sliced beef tenderloin, or a row of appetizers plated down the length of the table.
It’s the platter that comes out for Sunday dinners, holiday spreads, and entertaining where the table is meant to feel set rather than improvised. Turquoise is a middle-lineup blue — brighter than Lapis, cooler than Cobalt — and gives the platter a vintage-diner warmth that works especially well for spring and summer entertaining. Dishwasher, microwave, and oven-safe to 500°F.
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.
