Rare Homer Laughlin Fiestaware USA Blue Fiesta Carafe Jug & stopper 1936-46
Very rare VGC jug discontinued in red (looks a bit orange in person) in 1942, 3 to 4 years before they stopped this design in the other original shades.
This
listing comes from a large single owner collection of Fiestaware,
Kitchen craft & other related American makers. It was formed in
the 1980s through to the 1990s with the vast majority mid
20th century
or earlier. How it was collected so extensivley in the UK is a
mystery as many of these items a rare even within America let alone
England. Some pieces have basic restoration that I will do my best to
point out. These could be greatly improved with modern techniques to
the point of being invisible should the new owner wish.Please note
the red photographes much more red than it looks in person with it
looking more orange in person. Any item with restoration will be
listed at a minimum of half a perfect example. If you are purchasing
from outside of the UK please read the postage section below. I can
make custom listings to combine several items at once to reduce
postage, tax & insurance fees but please message before
purchasing. As one at a time buys cannot be combined
