I finally broke down and joined the Homer Laughlin China Collectors' Association (or HLCCA). They put out a little magazine called 'Dish' a few times a year and offer some HLCCA members-only Fiesta items that Homer Laughlin makes for them. Other than the magazine and deals, I'm not sure what the benefits are, but I don't really care. I just like looking at the pictures in the magazine. Should I even admit that?My first copy of Dish came yesterday and after looking at it I've realized that I like Harlequin the best of all the HL patterns. I have some egg cups and a sugar bowl that I bought years ago, but now I wish I had gotten much more back when it was cheaper. Here's my wish list (pulled from google searches, because they're not in my kitchen:
Teapot
Creamer
Gravy boat
Salt & Pepper
Unfortunately, it's all really expensive and hard to find at sales. HL only made it for Woolworth's, so there isn't as much Harlequin out there as garden variety Fiesta. Oh, well -- that should just make the hunt even more fun.
Creamer
Gravy boat
Salt & Pepper
Do you have a favorite Homer Laughlin pattern?

Those are lovely. That wasn't ever available in UK as far as I know, although I'm no expert. I love the deco style handle.
ooh love these! Scarlett x
Oh yes, they are lovely. Gorgeous colours too.
I have several pieces, and picked them up here and there at garage sales, for no more than a quarter apiece. I wish I had found more, because now it's so expensive!
I have a set of the salt and pepper shakers shown
