About the Item
This antique Homer Laughlin Virginia Rose serving platter is a beautiful example of early 20th-century American dinnerware craftsmanship. Made in the U.S.A. and marked on the underside with the classic Homer Laughlin Virginia Rose backstamp, this piece features the beloved Virginia Rose shape—renowned for its gently scalloped rim, embossed floral swags, and graceful curving profile.
This particular platter displays a striking cobalt blue banded pattern, a timeless and highly collectible variant within the Virginia Rose line. The minimal banding highlights the elegant form while allowing the historic ironstone body to speak for itself. Visible age-related crazing, expected wear, and gentle toning across the surface all add to the authentic patina that collectors prize in antique American pottery.
The Virginia Rose shape was introduced in 1932 and quickly became one of Homer Laughlin’s most iconic and enduring patterns, used for countless decorated and undecorated dinnerware lines throughout the mid-century. This platter—substantial in weight with a classic farmhouse feel—embodies the charm and durability that made Homer Laughlin one of America’s most historically significant pottery manufacturers.
Perfect for collectors of ironstone, American vintage kitchenware, blue-and-white tableware, and Homer Laughlin pottery, this platter is both decorative and functional—ideal for display or everyday service.
