I bought this for my sister who is an avid fiesta collector.  She has old pieces as well as new ones and she love using them all at family gatherings.  As tortillas are almost always a part of the menu, this fits in perfectly.  I am also told that it hold the warmth for quite a while as well.  Also useful for pancakes with grandkids and just as a bread warmer; especially cornbread or cornbread pancakes served with stews and soups.  Very attractive addition and a favorite piece of fiesta ware.
