Homer Laughlin Fiesta Promotional Casserole Base

This Genuine Fiesta Promotional Casserole base is very hard to find. For some unknown reason, the lids used to be everywhere, but you could never find the bottom to this casserole. Well...here is the base only for sale. It has a slight color miss or two, and the paint is a little splotchy, but it is not chipped. The piece is not marked, but they never found one that was marked. The 10th edition of the Fiesta book by the Huxfords clearly shows this piece, and has a nice story about it's origin. They call this an 8" casserole, but it only measures 7 3/4".
