Fiesta® Candle Holders Fiesta® Bulb and Round Candle Holders The bulb candle holders were modeled in September 1935 and were part of the introduction in January 1936. They were discontinued in 1946. Blub candle holders were made in the first six glazes: red, blue, old ivory, yellow, (light) green, and turquoise. The bulb candle holders were put in the Fiesta® assortment when the line was reintroduced in 1986. The same molds were used, however, due to the different types of clay bodies, the newer versions are smaller. The name was changed from bulb candle holder to round candlestick. Since the contemporary versions use the same molds as their vintage counterparts, the Fiesta® HLC-USA markings are the same. The "H" was added in 1999. Round candlesticks were made until 2007. They are known to exist in sapphire and raspberry.

They were discontinued in 1942, four years before the bulb type. Tripods were made in the first six glazes: red, blue, old ivory, yellow, (light) green, and turquoise. Examples exist in rose ebony, an experimental glaze that came very close to becoming a standard color. The tripod candle holders were part of the reintroduction in 1986 and were renamed pyramid candlesticks. They were discontinued in 2002 but returned as numbered sets in 2005. Twenty-four Scarlet examples were auctioned off by the East Liverpool High School Alumni Association. In many of the numbered cases, there are unnumbered examples and seconds.
