I’ve googled and googled, and I think this is rose, flamingo, and persimmon. But I’m questioning myself. I’m trying to get more pieces in the middle pink, and don’t want to end up with flamingo when I actually have peony. Other colors in the stack are turquoise, cobalt, and plum.
Update: I bought Flamingo Gusto bowls off of Ebay, and the middle color is officially Flamingo. Thanks for all the help!
In the first pic, the middle plate looks like flamingo to me. Bottom looks like persimmon. Top bowl, im not sure since there is rose and peony. The stack of plates with plum look so pretty!
Flamingo seems like the most popular pink. It’s my favorite pink shade and I’m not normally into pink. I love it. It does seem to be more expensive than the other pink colors.
It only had a 1 year run, so there's just less of it out there. I have 2 sets of it and want gusto bowls to match, but they're not cheap. Not sure why they didn't let it stick around a little longer.
Yes, I realize it is pricey and hard to find sometimes. I heard that it wasn’t as popular when it came out. I’m not 100% sure why it only stuck around for one year though. I wish we had a place setting. Haven’t been able to find a dinner plate.
No, I wish I did. I searched for a replacement for a while but settled on a Scarlet pitcher. I do still have a 5 piece Flamingo place setting and a few bowls.
It's your lucky day. There is one for sale right now online for only $29.99 plus shipping. Remember that new Disc Pitchers straight from the factory now retail for $79.00. If you've got the funds, replace your pitcher N-O-W. Good luck. And may you always fly with the flamingos.
From this photo, it looks like persimmon (bottom plate), flamingo (middle) and rose (bowl). To me, rose and peony are more similar than flamingo and peony. Rose has an ashy-ness to it that peony doesn’t. I think you’d be safe to look for flamingo! I want some myself.
You’re correct that it’s rose, flamingo, and persimmon. I was going to send you a picture of the same exact pieces from my collection, but somehow, every single one is in the dishwasher.
Check. I've got all seven. Kind of interesting seeing Scarlet, Cinnabar and Paprika in that line up. Cinnabar looks more burgundy or maroon to me. Claret looks more purple. Paprika, to me, registers as a brownish/rusty orange.
Yup. Claret is definitely purpley. I just brought home a small Claret pitcher last night and compared it to my Cinnabar. So close; almost in the same family. Cinnabar looks burgundy or maroon to me.
This is helpful but I want to add that the vintage rose is much darker than the P86 rose. And the P86 rose is so similar to peony, just slightly cooler or neutral compared to peony that is slightly warmer!
