Welcome to a Homer Laughlin Lover's world! When I first laid eyes on Homer Laughlin china, I knew it would be a forever affair. Homer Laughlin china and pottery really stands out when you find it in estate, garage and flea market sales. Their patterns, quality of their ceramic and overall collectability stand way out above the rest of the other china makers. There are thousands of collectors around the world of Homer Laughlin pottery. One of the most famous patterns of theirs that immediately come to mind is Fiesta. Fiesta is still a very highly collectible pottery and all indicators are that it will be for generations to come! But Fiesta ware is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. There are literally hundreds of patterns. Another very highly collectible vintage pattern is Eggshell Nautilus, especially the square shape plates. The Homer Laughlin makers were definately ahead of their time in thinking about future owners and collectors of their dinnerware. In the very beginning they came up with a way of dating and tracking each item back to the original factory where it was made. This was at a time when most factories were just marking their items with USA as a makers mark. Many of these items are just 'unknown' makers today. With Homer Laughlin marking their items so well we are able to date each piece, sometimes not only to just a year, but to a month of when it was made. www.hlcca.org There are several charts available to use for reference. Kovell's has a good one available in their China & Pottery Marks book.
