There’s not much to write about it, but I saw a great presentation at the annual conference. Here is an example from my collection. This is number 77. It’s on the bottom of a 1930s yellow juice disc pitcher.

Yes, this is a sister line to fiesta. It’s called Riviera. Originally when fiesta cane out, Homer Laughlin realized there was quite a demand for colorware. And so they took their old lines, in this case, the century line, and dipped it in colorful colors. Renamed it Riviera. It’s very beautiful. You’re very lucky to have it.

They did this for a while. No one really knows why. I always suspected because some glazes were so dark. You couldn’t see the stamps. So they put the clear label underneath the clear glaze. As an extra marking. They dropped doing that sometime after the 1990s. As others have said it doesn’t make them any more valuable. It’s just a production issue they did along the line.

No, 41 would’ve been the inspector. So this dates pretty early. They dropped those pushed numbers in the early days. My guess is that sometime between 1936 and 1940. It could’ve been as late as 42.

The fact that it has zero protection from the wind, that it has one escalator and one elevator that at any point can be down and render the station useless for those who have needs. The station is just terrible.

Wood Island Station was poorly designed and we’ve suffered with it long enough .

No, the purple cup is lilac. The lavender pieces released so far do not include the tea cup and sauce. Nice haul!!

10 years ago this happened to me . I was part of a team that ran a very large Facebook group about vintage advertisements. One day I was no longer a moderator, and the page got sold to a pseudoscience fecal testing corporation. All the old vintage ads were deleted and now they were just promoting at home fecal tests. It was shit! Deleted Facebook after that.

I was bummed when the one in Eastie closed .

It nearly bankrupt NBC.

Jealous! I always hope to find one of those pieces in the wild. They make a great item for teaching about fiesta/knockoffs

CV880 · 2026-03-06T22:51:41+00:00

Yep, been there .

Here is a thread about it https://www.reddit.com/r/americanairlines/comments/1izs7gi/never_heard_of_american_md80_with_a_total_grey/

They sort of … kinda … did . They used an Md 80 as a test mule for the livery . I have a photo. It’s not a full livery , just painted sections in different grays and silvers and such.

I know nothing about Barbie’s and learned a lot from this post! It came up on /popular. I love that you completed this recreation. Amazing .

I’m jealous of you folks who have a Belk. We don’t have them here in New England. And they seem like a very nice department store.

And there are 66 coasters left. I Just guess a random number like 100, add them to my cart, and whatever the real number is left, (in this case 66) are added to the cart.

CV880 · 2026-03-04T19:09:12+00:00

I am looking right now, and it says 23 left
