Walking on Eggshell

Homer Laughlin's 1937 product catalog offered seventy different decorations and patterns on their new Georgian shaped line. The elegant Eggshell finish is enhanced by a delicate embossment along the edge line along with a footed hollow build for lightness.

Frederic Rhead described the style as typically English, like the formal siver tableware during the reign of the four King Georges. World War II made it difficult to market traditional china from Europe and Asia, creating a large opportunity for a line such as Eggshell Georgian.

The 1945 Montgomery Ward catalog offered Cashmere, Viceroy, Monarch, Kingston and Rambler Rose.
