Description:
Baby Bunting children's dishes have been around since Victorian
times. The graphics from these earlier English dishes are picked
up on this Homer Lauglin series of children's dishes. This dish I
am offering has a wonderful graphic of Baby Bunting hoeing
flowers while a brown & white dog stands near by. The lettering
reads "Baby Bunting takes his hoe and tries to help the flowers
grow." People describe this character as a girl because of the
dress and apron, but boys in early time also wore dresses and
thus the confusion. I love the red shoes and blue apron. The
little dog also has a red bow around the neck. On the outside of
the dish a gold band surrounds the top and another smaller one
the middle. A funny startled cat with arched back is at the front
side of the dish. The sides of the dish slant in and that makes
the top 6.75 inches and the bottom 7.25 inches. It is
approximately 1.5 inches tall. On the bottom is the Homer
Laughlin logo and "Made in the USA" and the letters and
numbers "C 5 N". Many HCL pieces carry a backstamp
containing a series of letters and numbers. The company has
provided the information to help decipher these codes. "A
change was made for the period of 1921 - 1930. The first letter
was used to indicate the month of the year... The next single
digit number was used to indicate the year, and the last figure
for the plant." This dates the dish to March 1925 made at the
Newell, W. Virginia plant. The condition is good with these
issues to point out, graphics on the surface of the plate show
very little wear or skips. Some light utensils marks are present
as expected but not distracting. Wear to the gold lines is more
noticeable in some spots on top line and only a few areas of
second line. The graphic of the cat shows some wear especially a
spot on the tail. There is general crazing over all of the dish and
several very small tight hairlines on the inside. These may be
only crazing lines that are darker. Only one line goes through to
the outside. Glaze is thin in some spots on the white rim. This
is an exceptional dish and you will be pleased with adding it to a
collection or to give as a gift.
This item will be shipped from Texas. It can be combined
with other items shipped from Texas to save on postage.
