All of our Fiestaware is currently at or below cost! We are closing out our inventory and will not be selling Fiestaware anymore.
We love the Fiesta line of products - it’s how we got our name! But we are gravitating more to a Lodge and Nature based product line so the Fiestaware is on Mega-Sale for quick clearance! So buy your favorite pieces today, before they are gone. These pieces won’t last long at the low, low prices we have them at!
We have a long retired Snack Plate with Well in Cobalt - ever seen one? One Scarlet Carafe remains and several of the Canisters (sold separately) are currently in stock and the prices are unbeatable!
If Chartreuse is your color, we have 6 cup and saucer sets! Retired in 1999 this has become very popular and it is getting hard to find! There is also 1 Pedestal Mug in Chartreuse in stock!
We have a Monarch Vase and a Royalty Vase left, and 3 of our favorite Medium Vases. Don’t let the name fool you, it is tall and very elegant!
All sorts of accessories can be picked up for next to nothing! Ramekins, Salt & Pepper Sets, even a few Rangetop Salt & Pepper Sets. Single Dinner Plates, Luncheon Plates, and Salad Plates are available, too!
So don’t wait long, or it will be GONE! Have a great day!

We have recently expanded our selection of Polish Pottery from Boleslawiec. We are excited about all of the new and unusual pieces that we have on the website just in time for the holidays! There are a few new patterns that we have never carried before and new pieces that are sure to delight! Visit our website soon and browse the selections.
Read on to enjoy some history and care instructions for the ever-popular Ceramika Artystyczna pottery from Boleslawiec, Poland.
History: Polish stoneware originated as folk art in the early 1800’s. It was crafted in the German province of Silesia, now a part of Poland. Inspired by the peacock feather, farmers created strong and beautiful pieces for their tables. Today, in a small village in Poland, skilled artists still make the tableware by hand. Each piece is handcrafted and hand painted using a sponge-stamping technique and free-hand designs.
Unique to the Polish Pottery is the iridescent “eye spot” markings that characterize the peacock theme. These large blue and green eye spots and variations are arranged on the pieces to depict patterns that are distinctive to the Silesia region.
Many pottery cooperatives work in a small Polish town today, but the finest stoneware is produced by the Ceramika Artystyczna cooperative. Each piece is stamped on the bottom with their noted seal. Each piece is an individual artwork of excellent craftsmanship, so that no two pieces are really alike. When an artist achieves the highest level of accomplishment, they earn the privilege of creating their own designs from start to finish and get to sigh their work. These pieces are called UNIKAT (Polish for unique). These pieces are rare and command a higher price. Unikat pieces will always have the artists signature on the bottom.
Created from white clay and fired at temperatures in excess of 3000 Celsius, this stoneware is cadmium and lead free. The stoneware is safe for use in the dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer. It is also impervious to abrasives. Polish stoneware does not chip or crack easily and is extremely durable.
Care: Do not add cold water to a hot piece of pottery, or place a piece of the pottery directly from the freezer to the oven, as this extreme temperature change can cause cracking or breakage. Bring stoneware to room temperature before placing in an oven or microwave. Always place a small amount of water in the pans when cooking meats and roasts to disperse the heat and prevent damage. The maximum recommended oven temperature is 375 degrees. These pans are not intended for baking fish.

Hi !!!!
I just received my order and I just wanted to tell you how very pleased and happy I am with it.
I had been to Yellowstone in July and had purchased a Barefoots figurine at a store in Jackson Hole and was looking to purchase some more as Christmas gifts. Kolorful Kitchens was a recommended site from Big Sky Carvers.com.
I had never ordered from your company before, and I am picky of who I do order from (cautious I guess is a better word). I had browsed several sites and chose Kolorful Kitchens due to better product selection and better prices. It was well worth my time and money. The items are great and the way it was packaged was fantastic.
People usually are quick to complain about bad service, and good service usually goes unnoticed. I just wanted to let you know what wonderful service you provided as well as great products and at a good price. I will most definitely recommend Kolorful Kitchens to friends and family.
Thanks again……..
Sincerely
JoAnn Z.

Their name has changed, but not the quality and versatility of the enamelware that they manufacture. Whether you use it while camping, at the cabin, in the houseboat, RV, or every day in your own kitchen this spatterware works hard and looks great!
With ever-expanding color choices and items this enamelware is the most popular with splatterware users and lovers across the nation. It is well designed and more chip resistant than ever. So from stove top or oven to table, these dishes and pans will always make a statement of color and flair.
High quality steel is bonded with a porcelain enamel coating. Each piece is hand-dipped into the base color and fired. Then, the second coat is applied by an artisan “flicking” the color onto each piece with a special brush. Each piece is unique in design!
This enamel ware is safe to use, passing all of the FDA and California Prop 65 food service requirements. Use on electric or gas stoves, in the oven and the dishwasher. Sturdy and strong, it has always had a place in our history and after 35 years of creating this American classic, Crow Canyon Home makes certain that it has a place in our future, too.
New this year are two styles of graniteware of speckleware: Strawberry Red and Denim Blue. This new dinnerware is bordered with a stainless steel rim that makes it more durable and more beautiful. A limited introduction provides place setting pieces, as well as serving items, pails, colanders, and a stock pot.
Also new to Crow Canyon Home is Babyware! These delightful stainless steel rimmed children’s sets include a small plate, a bowl with plastic lid, and a 2 handled mug. Just the right size for little hands! There are three color choices: Blue with Elephant, Yellow with Giraffe, and Pink with Bear. It makes a great gift idea, too! These enamelware sets are an alternative to plastic or melamine and will make any child squeal with delight!

It’s bear hunting season, but there really is no need to hunt for them because we have all of the new Big Sky Carvers Bearfoots Bears right on our newly designed website at www.kolorfulkitchen.com! Jeff Fleming has outdone himself with this new group of Bearfoots black bear figurines.
New to the Grand Series is “Hello There!” This plump fellow is 12″ long and he is designed to sit on the edge of a shelf. New smaller figurines include “I am Blessed”, a personalizable figurine for new moms, the “Share a Secret” figurine lets you share a secret with a friend or loved one, the “Jewelry Tree” (shown above) is a whopping 14″ tall and has two climbing bear cubs being watched over by the parent bear. It has plenty of room for rings and things and branches for hanging bracelets and necklaces, and many, many more new bearfoots.
New to the collection this year are three Grizzly Bear figurines. Full figured and brown, they give new meaning to the words “bear claw”! Check them out today!

Don’t forget to visit our NEW Furniture Home Gallery in the Big Sky Carvers section. We have just added all of the new furniture selections from Big Sky Carvers that are a must see.
The William Herrick Collection began 25 years ago on the banks of Vermont’s Battenkill River where William got the idea of carving lifelike trout tables after his passion of fishing. These tables are now beautifully reproduced and hand-painted in rich hues that evokes the sense that you are peering into a crystal clear stream. Enhance any room with this classic outdoor collection that brings the realism of nature indoors.
Down through the years fishing creels were used to carry the catch of the day. Today, the beauty of these vintage creels are an inspiration to our Angler’s Heritage Collection. These solid wood tables contain storage basket drawers handcrafted from woven rattan with the accesories you would find on a traditional fishing creel. The Angler’s Heritage Collection will enrich any living room or sportsman’s den with a rustic accent that exemplifies the spirit of the outdoors.
The Lakeside Collection solid wood furniture captures the essence of life on the water. These hand-crafted pieces recall summer days on the lake and fond memories of family and friends.
Our new North Country Collection brings the ski lodge to your home. With a vintage feel that is reminiscent of early resorts in the Swiss Alps, these hand-crafted furnishings are the perfect complement to any room and are sure to bring delight to winter lovers!

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope you like the new look of our website. Exciting things are happening at Kolorful Kitchen & Home Decor and we are excited about sharing them with all of you!
We appreciate every one of our customers and love to see you visit us time and time again! So let us hear what you think of our new website. We can’t wait to hear from you!
Watch the site for new products from Big Sky Carvers, including the new 2008 Bearfoots. The enamelware lines are still growing and there are new items and colors from Golden Rabbit, GSI Outdoors and CGS International.
September 22, 2007
CGS International is on the fence about retiring the Yellow Marble and Black Marble pieces this year, but supplies are dwindling and so we are treating the two colors as retired at this point. Whatever current inventory we have in these 2 colors will be listed separately on the website as *Retired*. Some pieces are still available, so we can get more, but these numbers change every day. So, we will keep a constant tally of just how many we have and when we are out they will be removed! So if you collect the yellow and black enamelware just be aware that this may be the last you’ll see!
If at some point they decide to reverse that decision, we will put them back on as regular color choices on the regular item list.
Stay tuned!
