Frederick Rhead started designing his versions of Homer Laughlin sugar bowls early on. The first version was slip cast, had a flat inside bottom, a deeper foot and slipcast lid with nearly a 1/2" flange and will be marked simply "HLC USA" (without the Made in USA). Within three months modifications were made. The sugars foot was now jiggered by hand, causing variation in the shape, thickness, and angle of the base. The inside bottom was rounded and the flange was brought down to 1/8". The lid was formed by jiggering and the finial was seperately slip cast and attached by hand.
