Description: 2 VTG Homer Laughlin Fiesta® Restyled Amberstone Sheffield Brown 6" Side Plates Beautiful set of 2 6" side plates in the beautiful Amberstone Brown color which was a restyled Fiesta® shape for the Amberstone line which is in a brown color with a Fleur-de-lis symbol across it.. The handle is new on the teacup. The Homer Laughlin China Company has made dinnerware for distributors for many years and beginning in the late 1960s, they made lines for two in particular: J&H International of Wilmette, Illinois and Coventry Ware, Inc. of Barberton, Ohio. The wares made for these two are distinct from other lines in that the pieces which were marked (dinner plates, and sometimes chop plates, and platters) have no mention of Homer Laughlin in the backstamp. Lines made for J&H International are marked with the trade name, SHEFFIELD with a Fleur-de-lis symbol, pattern name, and "Made in the USA." Sometimes markings will include guarantees of: Detergent-proof, Oven-proof, and Dishwasher safe. Also, All Sheffield and Coventry lines have handled trays, a.k.a. tidbit or snack trays. This wasn't a standard item in the shapes of the day and were made special order for both companies. They were assembled at the HLC plant, though the metal handle was made outside the factory. Amberstone was made by Homer Laughlin from restyled Fiesta with their Sheffield name of Ambersone. In 1967, HLC made Sheffield Amberstone. The standard Fiesta line was modified to make this new line. Some pieces were restyled, others left alone, and a few pieces never before offered with Fiesta made an appearance. They were all brought together with a new brown glaze and a special underglaze pattern on the flatware. The assortment for Coventry Casualstone, circa 1970, is the same as Amberstone. For Casualstone the glaze is Antique Gold and the flatware is decorated with a different design. As with all Sheffield and Coventry lines, Amberstone and Casualstone larger plates will be marked appropriately. Sometimes, however, a piece of hollowware can be found with the Fiesta trademark cast in the mold even though such markings were supposed to be abandoned. This usually occurs more often with Amberstone than Casualstone. We have other Homer Laughlin Amberstone pieces in the store as well as many other Homer Laughlin pieces (including very rare pieces).
