Title: Georgian Holmer Laughlin
Post by: Firefligh on September 13, 2010, 09:53:16 pm

My Mum has a set of Georgian Eggshell Homer Laughlin but when we look for them on internet we can't seem to match them, we find the color but wrong pattern of the floral designs or visa versa does it matter??

If not then you can head back to the Main menu try another route.

Are you looking for replacement pieces or just a match?

I'm sure Homer Laughlin "mixed n' matched" the different colors with the different floral patterns to appeal to the different tastes of a broader range of customers so you might not find an exact photo of your set of dishes.

Like they say, don't re-invent the wheel if you don't have to.

Carnival Glass is an example, many of those patterns are really old Presssed Glass patterns. And to track down some of those patterns its handy to have a set of books by Marion T. Hartung  on Carnival Glass which shows nothing but the "pattern" & "shape" of the piece and a description of said: name, maker, etc.
