Vintage Homer Laughlin Blue Willow Dinner Plate Boat Back Stamp

Description

Up for auction a vintage Homer Laughlin Blue Willow plate, with the HL Blue Willow back stamp.  Homer Laughlin started production of Blue Willow transfer wares mid 1934.  The special boat mark wasn't used very long and was replaced with the general HLC mark.  Homer Laughlin discontinued Blue Willow in 1965.
The plate measures 9" in diameter and weighs 14.8 ounces prior to packing for shipping.
This piece is in good used vintage condition without cracks, chips, flakes or repairs.  The plate has crazing, staining, utensil marks and scratches.  The willow transfer is very well executed, cleanly finished and crisp.  The bottom has what looks like a crows foot, but it is staining through the crazing.  The bottom is heavily stained/discolored and has a couple of sand inclusions.  The bottom also has some spots of cobalt and areas of thin glaze.
Happy to combine shipping, please allow us to send a revised invoice so the postage will be correct.  Thank you for looking.
