This is info garnered from one of the old message boards about the Quatra line. Spelled any number of ways, but everyone pretty much knows that. :-)
In the original Quattro decal, there was the 4-piece place setting pieces, the disc pitcher, the oval serving bowl, the pizza tray & the chop plate only.
Quattro 2002 was made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Macy's. It was sold in the Herald Square Macy's exclusively, so I was told. Rings are cinnabar, cobalt, sunflower and plum. Available only in the 4-piece place setting pieces only.
Quattro 2005 was exclusive to Marshall Fields stores and available in the 4-piece place setting pieces, the gusto bowl, large oval platter and original utensil crock only. Rings are cobalt, sunflower, tangerine and scarlet.
There was also a run called "Retired Bands" that was exclusive to Fiestaware Fiesta website, produced during 2003 and 2004 (mid year of each). It was available in only the dinner plate and mug. Rings were juniper, chartreuse, lilac and sapphire.
And don't forget the Mardi Gras line. Produced in only the 4-piece place setting pieces starting on February 5, 2001, not sure when it was stopped. Colors are green, gold and purple
