Porcelain saucer with floral decoration by Homer Laughlin

This saucer was produced by Homer Laughlin China Company, one of America's most prolific pottery manufacturers founded in 1871 in East Liverpool, Ohio. The company became famous for producing affordable, durable dinnerware for American households throughout the 20th century, with their most iconic line being Fiesta Ware. This particular piece features a delicate floral bouquet pattern with hand-painted or decal-applied flowers in vibrant colors, surrounded by a simple gold trim border, typical of mid-20th century American dinnerware design. Vintage Homer Laughlin pieces appeal to collectors of American pottery, vintage dinnerware enthusiasts, and those seeking to complete or replace pieces in their family china sets. The floral patterns from this era are particularly valued for their nostalgic charm and representation of mid-century American domestic life. Collectors appreciate Homer Laughlin pieces for their historical significance as examples of mass-produced American ceramics that were both beautiful and functional, making them accessible to middle-class families during the post-war era.
