Circa 1939-1940: Produced for less than a year, the small animal novelties that Homer Laughlin produced for Woolworths are a delight to find and add to your vintage pottery collection. Bringing an element of humanism into the tablescape is not a success to which many potteries can lay claim.This example of the Original Cat dipped in the Harlequin maroon glaze is in excellent condition, without damage or use, please note a lighter glaze miss on the tip of the nose that is part of the making. The miniature Cat, Donkey, FIsh, Penguin, Duck and Lamb can add a delighful personality in your cabinets and on your tablescapes.
