Set of 12 Black and White Coffee Cups and Saucers

36 USD

Although these cups would be great for a large group for dinner...they could also be used in a coffee establishment. They are restaurant quality, quite durable. Plus, they may be valued much higher, as they are made by a company whose products many collectors look for. The manufacturers mark is on the underside of the saucer.

History of the company:
A key part of Homer Laughlin's business yesterday and today is its hotel and restaurant lines. In the 1920s the firm advertised itself as the largest pottery company in the world.
The Homer Laughlin China Company initially began as Laughlin Pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio. The company was started in 1871 by brothers Shakespeare and Homer Laughlin, however, Shakespeare would later leave the company in 1879. In 1889, William Edwin Wells joined Homer and seven years later the two would incorporate. Homer would sell his interest to Wells shortly thereafter. The firm experienced rapid growth and opened a facility in Newell, West Virginia in 1903. By the late 1920s all production was centered at the West Virginia factory and the Ohio site was abandoned. in the United States. A visitor center, museum, and factory outlet are maintained at its headquarters.

Cannot break up the set of 12.

I am available most all the time during daylight hours and live near Gallatin Rd and Greenwood Ave in the Inglewood area and please exact cash only, we don't keep change.

Thanks, :-)
