Circa 1941: Homer Laughlin's Century pottery line lended itself not only to Riviera, but to many of their decal ware lines as well. Mexicana, with its cascade of southwestern pots and cacti has become the most widely known of their many decals. The large round vegetable/nappy bowl was one of only two serving bowls for the table and is a delight to add to the collection. Large and full of statement, the Mexicana decal and hand applied cold painted red stripe on this example is in very nice condition without damage or distracting wear. It is marked on the back "Homer Laughlin MADE IN USA ".
