Newbie needs help with Fiesta

[LovemyLab]

Hello all. I am very new to this site; this is my first post. I've recently 'discovered' Fiesta after discovering some in my local thrift store. I've been trying to figure out how to date the cups I found (photos below), but it is extremely confusing. I've lurked around the boards, but still can't find the answers. Can someone help? With the first set of (blue) cups, there is no mark on one (turquoise cup on far left), on two others (dk blue cup & lt blue mug) I can just make out the 'fiesta USA' mark, and one (lt blue cup) is clearly stamped in ink. The blue mug and cup to the far right are the same color, but the photo shows the mug slightly darker. The red cups are all clearly marked on the bottom. I've shown close ups of the bottoms of each cup, I hope they are clear enough.

I'm also wondering if new Fiesta is worth the purchase. I'm selling my china (Villeroy & Boch) and need something to replace it with. Thanks!

I believe that one of your blue cups is old, another? the rest appear to be after the brand was revived in 1986. Google -dating fiesta ware and choose the first website. That should answer you. Having said that, all fiesta ware is popular and brings decent prices.
