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.
Also pictured, is a Fiesta teacup and saucer, covered sugar bowl and creamer.

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.

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.

Riviera was introduced by The Homer Laughlin China Company in 1938. The Riviera line was pretty limited and was unmarked. It was much lighter in weight than Fiesta and Harlequin. Riviera came in yellow, light green, mauve blue and ivory. Red was temporarily stopped during the war. My yellow casserole does not have a stamp on the bottom. Riviera came from a line called Century. Century was an ivory line and was often decorated with a wide variety of decals. My Century casserole is marked with the year 1937.Also check out my Homer Laughlin Serenade.
This is my 1939 World’s Fair plate by The Homer Laughlin China Company. Six pottery companies joined together and built and operated a kiln at the 1939-1940 World’s Fair in New York City as a tribute to the American Potter. They produced a variety of plates, figurines, vases and bowls. The Homer Laughlin China Company entry is the plate that I own and was designed by Fredrick Rhead. In the center of the plate is the Trylon and Perisphere that were the adopted symbols of the Fair. These plates not only appeal to Homer Laughlin collectors, but also to World’s Fair and Art Deco collectors.
I love the colors and the Art Deco look of the plate. It is also Mike’s favorite piece in my collection. I rarely see these plates and got mine on eBay about 10 years ago. Once I won the auction, I was contacted by another bidder trying to buy it from me and he was willing to pay a much higher price, but I had to keep it for myself.
One nice thing I found out about my plate is that it is very rare to have the gold stamp: “Decorated by Charles Murphy, 150th Anniversary Inauguration of George Washington as First President of the United States, 1789 – 1939.” My plate has the gold stamp.

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.

Here are some of my Fiesta oval platters from the Homer Laughlin China Company. Production began in 1936 and ended in early 1969. Pictured are my oval platters in turquoise, cobalt and yellow. I got the fork and spoon plate holder years ago at Kirkland’s.

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.

‘Go-Alongs’ refers to items that were made by other companies to be used with the colored dinner lines by The Homer Laughlin China Company, like Fiesta, Harlequin and Riviera. Here is a picture of my decals that my sister got me years ago. The decals were made in 1945 by the American Decalcomania Company of Chicago and New York.
At the bottom is my set of new decals that are “Genuine Fiesta.” I think I got these back in the early 90s.

Here are a few pieces from my Harlequin collection. Harlequin was made by the Homer Laughlin China Company. Left to right are a 22-ounce jug, an 11″ platter and a teapot with lid. The 22-ounce jug was used for milk or cream on the breakfast table and was produced from 1938 to 1959. The teapot was produced the same years. The oval platter was produced from 1936 to 1959. The Harlequin line was sold in Woolworth stores starting in 1936 and it was their best selling dish line of all time and sold for 28 years!
