Circa: 1937-1938: Homer Laughlin began producing Harlequin in the late 30s for the Woolworth five and dime stores. The sugar bowl was the eighth piece designed for the relatively large line. In line for 27 years the sugar bowl underwent various modifications. This example is the earliest with the original rings on the inside bottom of the bowl and a slightly flared, hand-applied foot. The sugar bowl is in ver good condition with no touch-ups, no chips or damage, and no distracting factory flaws (one small glaze skip on the edge of the handle, shown in the 1st picture). The creamer is in nice condition as well. It's just wonderful to find the early 1937-1938 sugar bowl with these inside rings and I'm sure you'll be thrilled to add this piece to your Harlequin collection.
