The Harlequin line was designed exclusively for F.W. Woolworth's department stores and was introduced in late 1936, just in time for the holiday season. The initial release consisted of 16 pieces in four new Homer Laughlin colors, including Maroon, Spruce, Harlequin Yellow, and Mauve Blue. The mauve blue teapot, in particular, was produced from 1938 to 1940, making it a rare and sought-after vintage piece. It features a unique Art Deco-inspired design with angular handles and knobs, characteristic of the Harlequin line. The teapot's mauve blue glaze is one of the four original colors introduced in 1936 and is highly prized by collectors for its vibrant, yet subtle, hue. Collectibility: The Homer Laughlin Harlequin mauve blue teapot is a highly collectible vintage piece, particularly in excellent condition with minimal wear and tear. Its rarity, unique design, and association with the iconic Homer Laughlin China Company, make it a coveted find among collectors of vintage dinnerware and pottery.
