The Homer Laughlin China Company made specialty salad bowls from the early 1900s until the mid-1960s. The earlier examples were made using bowls from existing lines and giving them luster trims with various decals. These include, but not limited to, pieces from Hudson, The Angelus, Niagara, Empress, and the square Newport bowls. While the company would continue to pick up nappies from dinnerware lines, namely Empress, Virginia Rose, Brittany, and others, they also made special bowls independent of the dinnerware shapes. These were always sold as salad bowls and never mixed in with any of the dinnerware lines. Such bowls are often called specialty salad bowls or specialty salad nappies. The specialty salad nappies were often decorated with jet spray trims, also called "wash" or "fade away" trims. The intent was to highlight the embossing along the edge. Such spray trims replaced the older luster trims used from circa 1910 to 1932. Some decals were specifically made for the salad nappies while others were "scrap prints" or leftovers from other lines. As a result, there are dozens of different treatments on the specialty salad nappies. Measures approximately: 9" across Use this as a collectible décor piece or to add to your antique wear / serving dishes / Homer Laughlin collection - we have lots of collectible pieces in the store!! Condition: Very good preowned antique condition. No chips or cracks and little to no under the glaze crazing present, which is typical with antique pottery. Small underside factory mold flaw on the bowl - can only be seen on the underside - normal factory production imperfection. Some very light wear on green luster trim. Beautiful flower decal.
