Vintage Homer Laughlin Yellowstone Octagon Covered Sugar Red line w/ Flowers EARLY PIECE 1926
Beautiful Homer Laughlin Yellowstone Covered Sugar Bowl with Red Line and Flower decaling. This is an early piece from the Yellowstone line which started in 1926. This is Decal Y12 - also known as the Raymond Decal and it measures 6-¼” across from handle to handle.
Yellowstone was introduced in 1926. Shown is a trade ad dated August 5, 1926 which best describes the design. The ad reads:
The Yellowstone is striking in simplicity. There is no relief work,
embossing or irregular surface to compete with, or to detract from, the
decorative effects. The soft ivory shape, reproducing the exquisite
color tone of Belleek, and the plain octagon outlines, provide the ideal
frame and background for the score of original decorations especially
designed for this model.
Many of the discriminating buyers who have already had opportunity to
inspect the Yellowstone have been good enough to pronounce it the
outstanding creation of the year, one destined for unrivaled popularity.
The confident tone of the ad was well founded as the Yellowstone shape
would go on to be among HLC's best selling lines for the next ten years.
It would continue to be made into the late 1940s, but not in the same
quantities as its peak years in the 1930s. For most of its production
run, it was made in ivory and the rich vellum glaze originally developed
for Century. Many stylistic floral decals popular in the late 1920s
used on Newell, Empress, and Kwaker are also found on Yellowstone.
Condition: Very Good vintage condition. No chips and minimal crazing. Has a factory mold flaw on the underside of the line and has a hairline crack along one of the base panels. Minimal factory production imperfections such as sand bumps, glaze pops, glaze misses - all normal factory production. See all pictures.
