Specialty Salad Bowls

I'm joining in on Vintage Thingies Thursday again over at Coloradolady,
come on over and share some of your vintage goodness!

Homer Laughlin China Company didn't only make the well known Fiesta, Harlequin,
and Riviera lines of dinnerware.  They have produced thousands of shapes and patterns
since the late 1800s.  These are some of my favorite pieces from some of their other lines of
dinnerware.  These are generally called "specialty salad bowls" and are pieces from
well known shapes, that have been decorated with stencils and decals.  








The two bowls above are in the Virginia Rose shape, as are the two royal blue decorated bowls.









This next one is in the New York shape.



This bowl has a green lustre finish.



Thanks for coming by to play dishes with me today, I do appreciate your visits and comments.

  6. Wow! What a wonderful collection you have! How fun it must be to use them all.

    I only have one of those bowls in the Virigina Rose shape. But, I really enjoy using it.

    I'm visiting from Coloradolady. Please drop by for a visit and take a peek at the details for the three new linky parties I'll be starting up the first week of June.

    Have a great Memorial weekend!
