Story
In 1948, the Homer Laughlin China Company reached its 75th 'Diamond Jubilee' and decided to celebrate by looking toward the future rather than the past.
Maker / Origin
Homer Laughlin is a titan of American industry, founded in 1871 and eventually becoming the largest pottery in the world.
Condition & Value
The teapot appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing. While Jubilee is rarer than the ubiquitous Fiesta line, the market for white-glaze mid-century pieces is more specialized.
