1940s Vintage Homer Laughlin China
Ferndale 6 Dinner Plates

Six Homer Laughlin China Company dinner plates, in a pattern called "Ferndale" in the Eggshell Nautilus shape. The plates are decorated with floral rose sprays in pink, yellow, and blue, with tan rim and gold trim.

The plates measure 10 inches wide across the middle. They are in very good to excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, flakes, or hairlines. The gold trim is very intact, as is the floral pattern. There are very few signs of utensil marks or crazing.

The 6 plates are stamped in green on the bottom: "HLC / Eggshell Nautilus / U S A / D (or E) 44 N5." Price: $$35.00

Vintage 1927
Homer Laughlin China
Serving Bowl

A richly colored serving bowl from the Homer Laughlin China Company. According to Lehner's Encyclopedia of Marks, the mark on the bottom of this bowl dates it to November, 1927.

This vintage piece is in remarkably good condition to be 80 years old. It measures 9 inches wide at the rim and 2 inches high. The center is decorated with an elaborate basket holding fruit and floral sprays in yellow, brown, charcoal, and black; it is very intact with little wear and only faint crazing. There are light hairlines or stress cracks on the underside base, which do not show on the front.

The rim was probably originally decorated in an orange luster, which seems to have been the fad at the time. This bowl has lost most of that, and what remains (on about half the bowl rim) is a faint yellow.

The underglaze green mark reads:
