Circa 1936-1941: Homer Laughlin began producing Harlequin pottery in the late 30s for the Woolworth five and dime stores. The sugar bowl was the eighth piece designed for the relatively large line. Produced for 27 years the sugar bowl underwent various modifications. This example is the earliest with the original rings on the inside bottom of the sugar bowl and a slightly flared, hand-applied foot. This example of the Harlequin pottery sugar in original maroon glaze is in excellent condition, without damage or use. It's just wonderful to find the early sugar bowl with these inside rings and I'm sure you'll be thrilled to add this set to your Harlequin collection. Measures 4 1/4"h x 5 1/2w
