Grandmothers Serving Bowl..

This is my one and only vintage pieces

of china. It belonged to my

Grandmother Maude and was

given to me 17 years ago just

before Jeff and I married.

The flowers are a bit faded...but still beautiful.

There's 1 small nick under the rim .. not

visible from top view.



Homer Laughlin
Made in U.S.A.
J 50 N 8
Stamped on the bottom of bowl.
After a lil research I found out the the 50
meant the year it was made and the
N 8 was code for where it was made.




After searching hundreds and hundreds of pictures today
of Homer Laughlin pieces I found
1 piece which was a Vegetable Bowl.
It was the same size.. 9" in diameter
and had the same floral pattern with the amber
ring around the rim.. but the rim design differed a bit
and it was called
Eggshell Nautilus Dresden Pattern.
I finally gave up..
Nautilus.. Dresden.. Homer Laughlin
it was all greek to me..
The important thing.. it was Grandma's
and it is priceless to me.

Honestly.. I really don't recall

ever looking at the stamp on the bottom of

the dish until today lol.

I know that every time I see it

I remember my Grandma's

Sunday dinner table.

This beautiful bowl filled with the best

mashed potatoes or best green beans you

ever put in your mouth.

If only I could do it the same justice.

Thank you for stopping by to visit my
