"Sweet Pea" Rhythm
13.5-inch Oval Platter
This vintage serving tray has rich colors to its lovely floral pink pea-blossom decal. It measures 13.5 inches long and 11.75 inches wide across the middle. It has very few utensil marks or scuffs, unusual for a piece this old.
The
underglaze stamp reads:
Rhythm

This piece is listed at replacements.com as item number 38771, pattern W350: "RHYTHM, PINK FLOWERS, VINE, NO TRIM." Price: $14
Eggshell
Georgian
MARILYN
Cup
and Saucer, Bread & Butter Plate
A lovely cup and saucer, with matching bread and butter plate, from the Homer Laughlin China Company in the shape called "Eggshell Georgian" in the pattern called Marilyn - Blue. These lovely pieces have the embossed trim, gold decoration at the rim, handle and center, and a wonderful pale blue border with gold trim and filigree (see pattern #G3419 at replacements.com).
These
1951 vintage pieces are in very good condition. The cup is 4 inches
wide at the rim and 2.5 inches high; the saucer is 6 inches wide. The
B&B plate is about 6.25 inches wide. The floral design of pink
roses and tulips with blue forget-me-nots, is rich and crisp in color
on all pieces. The gold trim is only slightly worn, about 90% intact.
The only visible flaw is the cup has light but visible exterior browning
on its foot.
The mark on the saucer reads:

Homer
Laughlin “Nantucket”
Eggshell Nautilus Oval Serving Platter,
Gold Trim
A Homer Laughlin China Company oval serving tray or platter in the Eggshell Nautilus shape in the pattern called "Nantucket." This piece is in very good condition for such vintage dinnerware, with very crisp detailing to the flower design around the rim, very intact gold tirm, and only the slightest hints of utensil marks on the tray.
This
oval platter measures 11.5 inches from embossed handle to handle and
9 inches across the middle. The edges are well defined and free of
chips or cracks. Overall, it is in very good condition; there is one
indentation (about the size of a finger tip) on the back rim, but it
is under the glaze and original to manufacture.
The tray is stamped with the HLC Eggshell Nautilus logo (below and at right), along with the data and factory code "C 51 N 5" (1951). Price: $14
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:

Vintage Homer Laughlin China
Four Rimmed Fruit/Dessert
(Sauce) Bowls
Brittany Shape
Four (4) rimmed fruit/ dessert (or sauce) bowls from Homer Laughlin China Company, in the Brittany shape, in a pattern described as "Red sections, no floral."
Two of the four bowls are in good condition. One bowl has a fine hairline down the rim (photo below), and one has a 1/4 inch chip (see photos). All four bowls have light crazing, but very little utensil wear. The burgundy red border is intense and very complete on all four pieces.
These bowls are marked with the "Homer Laughlin" logo and the manufacturing date of L 40. They are shown at replacements.com as item 155192 (discontinued 1940). Price: $12.00
MAJESTIC
Creamer
Brittany Shape
A richly decorated creamer in the pattern MAJESTIC from Homer Laughlin China Company, in the Brittany shape, described as "Multicolor floral, burgundy band."
This pretty creamer is beginning to show its age with browning (it could use a strong peroxide bath to brighten it up); it is not as bad as the flash of my camera makes it look! There are no chips or cracks, but there is crazing throughout. The gold trim is intact, as is the burguny band and floral decoration.
This
piece is stamped under glaze in green with the Homer Laughlin logo,
and the manufacturing marks
"F 40 N 6". Price: $8.00.
Four
Rimmed Fruit/Dessert
(Sauce) Bowls
Brittany Shape
Four (4) rimmed fruit/ dessert (or sauce) bowls from Homer Laughlin China Company, in the Brittany shape, in a pattern described as "Red leaves on rim, smooth."
All four bowls are in very good condition. There is a bit of wear to the red leaf trim on two bowls (actually appears original to manufacture). There are no chips or cracks, and only very light utensil marks. These bowls are unmarked, but are shown at replacements.com as pattern HLC3000. Price: $12.00.
