Vintage Fiesta, Kitchen Kraft & other Homer Laughlin Pottery in Original Ivory Glaze | Circa 1936-1951
The original old ivory glaze is an anomaly among the other Vintage Fiesta glazes—not created on the wave of the southwestern color trends, but rather pulled from existing wares, the creamy vellum old ivory glaze filled an important gap in the Vintage Fiesta color spectrum. The ivory glaze wasn't an afterthought, though, and, from the very beginning of lining up a perfect assortment of colors, a creamy enamel shade was on the list. The vellum ivory glaze represents the perfect sheen on the surface, not too reflective and not too dull. Homer Laughlin was already using this ivory glaze on other shapes, and, even after trials to introduce a white into the original Fiesta line, they turned to their existing creamy ivory vellum glaze to balance the bold pallette they had created. The ivory vellum glaze was the final and fifth color added to the assortment of glazes that would introduce Fiesta pottery to the world. It is interesting to note that the ivory glaze also contains a small amount of uranium oxide and that when the material became unavailable in 1943 the ivory glaze formula would need to be modified. Thank goodness the uranium restriction didn't cause the end of production for this classic glaze, but with modifications allowed ivory to remain another eight years until it was discontinued in 1951.
