Manufacturer: Homer Laughlin China Company
This is the original Red colored plate, bread & butter (B&B) or dessert size, which is a piece of the original Fiesta pottery or Fiestaware from the printed mark on the backside. States "Genuine, fiesta, H L Co, USA". The "H L Co" stands for Homer Laughlin China Company. The word "Genuine" was added to the mark in the 1940s and helps to date this mark during the 1940's to 1972 period (we don't know when this piece was made within that, but it is not one of the new pieces).
This has an orangey red color, not a "Stop Sign" red, as was originally produced. Round, measuring 6 1/4 inches in diameter and sitting about 5/8 inch in height. On the topside, this bread & butter plate has a lowered center with some impressed circles, then flares slightly upward to the main body of the dish before curving higher to the rim, with several more in mold circular ridges near the rim. The underside of this dessert plate has additional raised molded circular ridges. This vintage piece is a heavy pottery or ceramic piece for its size, weighing about 7.4 ounces unpacked.
We've provided 6 images to show front and back sides. It was difficult to show the true rich orangey red color, but this is the expected original Fiesta color. The camera light changes the color due to the high reflection on the smooth surface and causes white "hot spots". The light also blands out some of the detail. So we've included several images shot without the light. These appear darker and make the color seem more red, but they help with the detail. Please use the zoom feature to examine closely.
Excellent condition with no chips, cracks or crazing. We believe this piece was never used as it does not show the expected use wear for its age. It came out of a home and likely was kept on display. There are a couple of small stray scratches and perhaps some other very light wear we are missing, but we think these came from handling/cleaning, as it just doesn't look used at all. On the underside, there are a number of spots where the red coloring was not applied as fully, and pin/pit dots in the coloring/glazing, as made in manufacturing. Clean and bright, top and bottom.
We have listed other Fiesta and many other items for sale. If you wish to buy more than one, please email us prior to inputting the order so we can provide you with a combined shipping discount, if possible. The system will not automatically provide that to you, but we would be pleased to compute the postage savings due to shipment together in one box. |
