World's Fair American Potter » | See All Vases »
Circa 1940: Hand thrown on the wheel and fired and dipped in glazes right on the fairgrounds in New York City, the vases made by Homer Laughlin are the most desirable of items produced during the World's Fair. None are easy to find and larger ones, like this 4 1/2" tall example are especially scarce.Nicely double marked on the back "The American Potter, New York Worlds Fair, 1940, Joint Exhibit of Capital and Labor". and the "National Brotherhood of Operative Potters" union seal.
