Homer Laughlin Fiesta Salt and Pepper Shakers

Here are some of my Fiesta salt and pepper shakers by Homer Laughlin.  Production began in 1933 and ended in 1969.  I love their ball-shape and think they take a great picture!  The red (orange), one cobalt and one yellow are vintage.  The teal and darker cobalt are new.  Both the salt and pepper have seven holes, but the pepper shaker has smaller holes.

HLCCA Exclusive Juice Pitchers

  • 1933 pitcher in black, depicting The Century of Progress Exhibition from the 1933 World’s Fair.

  • 1938 pitcher in scarlet, features the New York Central System’s 1938 20th Century Limited Train.
  • 1940 pitcher in ivory, features Uncle Sam representing the unity of our Nation during the difficult years.

Homer Laughlin Rhythm Rose

Here is my small Rhythm Rose collection by Homer Laughlin.  The most familiar of the Homer Laughlin Rhythm Rose line is the solid colors of yellow, chartreuse, gray, forest green and burgundy, but it was the basis of decaled lines like Rhythm Rose. Rhythm Rose was produced from the mid 40s through the mid 50s.  Pictured are my pitcher, coffeepot, cream and sugar.

Homer Laughlin Fiesta Two Pint Jug

I’ve been asked numerous times what my favorite piece of Fiesta is and the answer is my cobalt two pint jug. My Mom gave me this jug.  It sat on top of our refrigerator for years holding odds and ends.  It was my first piece of Fiesta by Homer Laughlin and it sits in my china cabinet front and center.  Also pictured is my two pint jug in ivory. Production for the two pint jug began in 1936 and ended in 1959.

Homer Laughlin Fiesta Plates

Just some of my Fiesta plates by Homer Laughlin.  I love this picture.  I think it’s artsy and is something I could frame and love looking at.  I just might do that. My hubby took the picture.  Plates are pretty easy to find.  They were produced from 1935 to 1969.

Homer Laughlin Harlequin and Fiesta

Here are some of my Harlequin pieces along with a Fiesta utility tray.  At the top is a Harlequin novelty creamer in turquoise.  The novelty creamer was produced by the Homer Laughlin China Company from 1938 through 1959.

The Fiesta utility tray in red was produced from 1936 through 1946.  The utility tray was used as a base for a sugar and creamer and for serving celery or carrot sticks, relishes and condiments.

My basketweave nut dishes are in maroon, red and turquoise.  Some believe that this was intended as an individual ashtray, but was marketed as a nut dish.  The shape was copied from a Japanese Marutomo ware dish.  Production began in 1938 and ended in 1943.

The individual or toy creamer is one of my favorite Harlequin pieces.  Even though the individual creamer was dipped in Harlequin glazes, it is not believed to be part of the Harlequin line.  Production began in 1939 and ended in 1942. Mine are in red and turquoise.

Homer Laughlin Fiesta Creamers

Here are some of my Fiesta creamers.  The Homer Laughlin China Company started producing the ring handle creamer in 1938 to replace the stick handle creamer.  Production continued until 1969.  Pictured are creamers in green, turquoise, yellow and Amberstone (brown).  Amberstone was introduced in 1967.  You can see the different handle on the Amberstone creamer.  Amberstone was produced for supermarket promotions and some large grocery store chains used it as a premium.

Homer Laughlin Red Fiesta

Here are a few of my red Fiesta pieces.  Pictured are a ring handle creamer, a stick handle creamer and a sugar bowl with lid.  The Homer Laughlin China Company produced the stick handle creamer for less than three years and ended production in 1938, switching to the ring handle creamer.  It is thought that since the stick handle creamer was easier to use for right-handed people, the company changed the design.

Homer Laughlin Fiesta Coffee Pot

This is my Fiesta Regular Coffee Pot in turquoise.  My Daddy got this for me years ago and it is one of my favorite pieces.  The Homer Laughlin China Company started making Fiesta in 1936.  The coffee pot was made for over 20 years and was discontinued in 1959.
