My Grandmothers Wash Basin and Water Pitcher

By DELYCE, 27 September, 2010

Description

Theres a chip on the mouth of the pitcher, but otherwise there are no scratches or cracks on/in either the water pitcher or basin. They are beautiful together. I'm sorry but I don't know the termonology for the logo.

I tried to capture it on a close-up but thats the best my camera can do.

Does anyone recognize this logo/hallmark whatever it's called?

Also the pattern?

Thanks.

Appears to be a Homer Laughlin piece. Although I have never seen this paticular piece. But it is very nice. Try looking up Homer Laughlin on the internet, might be able to come up with some info. I would think it would be a very early piece of his work.
