Coffee Server Production: 1986 – 2001
The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.,
“Over the Teacups,” 1891

In 1986, HLC included the coffee server in its original line of the reintroduced Fiesta. Referred to in product brochures as the covered coffee server, the original Vintage shape didn’t form properly with vitrified clay. It warped and the corresponding lids rarely fit. There are pieces of this original style out there because it did go through a few production runs in 1986, depite the high scrap rate.
The restyled coffee server have a completely different looking lid. Production ended in 2001, however the company has produced small runs in later colors for promotional purposes.
How is the coffee server at pouring coffee? Try it and see.
The Post86 Coffee Server and Lid is item number 493. (Base 721 & Lid 722)
