This plate is the "Virginia Rose" pattern by Homer Laughlin. The name refers to the shape of the plate, not the design. This dinnerware was designed in 1933, by Fredrick Rhead and HL produced so many of this shape that many of the patterns were never given names. This pottery was established in 1871 by Homer & Shakespeare Laughlin, two brothers who lived in East Liverpool, Ohio. For well over a century, this company has produced high quality home and restaurant porcelain dinnerware in the USA. HL pottery is very collectible, there are books and web sites dedicated to their products, such as The Homer Laughlin China Collectors Association. Both new and vintage Fiestaware is very popular. There is a difference between Homer Laughlin and Fiestaware. The foodservice divisions and brand names of the Homer Laughlin China Company and the Hall China Company were acquired by Steelite International. The Homer Laughlin Company was renamed and will henceforth be known as The Fiesta Tableware Company.
