Promotional Ware
From the very first year in which Fiestaware was produced, it was offering a customised service to enable companies and organisation to help promote their products. Later, even smaller institutions could take advantage of the minimum order quantity of 250 units. All these listed here are either positively made by Chance, or strongly suspected.
Not commonly seen as a boxed set, and even less so when they are customised for a customer: Greyfriars Autoparts. See CA, p.81 Courtesy Stuart Summers
