Title: Antique 24k georgian eggshell
Post by: issysauntee on December 29, 2004, 08:17:57 PM
:o my mom and i were cleaning out the house and we have a
vintage tea service that belonged to my great grandmother.

It contains a teapot, sugar bowl, 2 cups/2 saucers and a salt and pepper shaker.  They are gold (unknown if 24k gold, but highly possible) with
small ornate etchings of flowers with stems attached, like a vine, covering
each piece.

on the bottom of one of the plates it has the following: eggshell, georgian
homer laughlin, made in u.s.a., D47 N5.

I went to the HL website and there was nothing there that resembled these pieces or had this number listed.  Does anyone know about them?
Thank you.

Try posting a question on the eBay Pottery, Glass & Porcelain Discussion Board.  There are many knowledgable people on the board.  They will want good close-ups of the marks on the pieces, and of the decoration.  Any time you are asking for help about porcelain, we want to see pictures.   ;)  

Otherwise, I know nothing about Homer Laughlin.
