Homer Laughlin China Turquoise Ceramic Bowl

This item is a circular ceramic bowl produced by the Homer Laughlin China Company, featuring a vibrant turquoise-teal glaze. The bowl possesses a classic rounded profile with a distinct unglazed white foot ring, providing stability and showcasing the white vitrified china body. The base displays an official black sub-glaze backstamp containing the company name, a decorative fleur-de-lis logo, the date 1840-1996, 'Since 1871', and 'U.S.A.' along with a production code. The specific backstamp indicates it was likely manufactured in the mid-to-late 1990s as part of their commercial or retail dinnerware lines, such as the Fiesta or Fiesta-style collections. The glaze appears uniform and thick with a glossy finish, typical of high-fire industrial production designed for durability. No significant cracks, chips, or crazing are visible in the photograph, though very minor shelf wear appears on the unglazed foot ring. The piece exemplifies the mid-century modern revival aesthetic that grew popular in the late 20th century. Its robust construction and lead-free glaze are hallmarks of the Homer Laughlin brand, reflecting heavy-duty institutional quality standards.
