Vintage Homer Laughlin Woolworth's Harlequin in Original Maroon Glaze | Circa 1936-1940

Circa 1936-1940: "Red, Blue, Green and Yellow" were the original four Harlequin Glazes released in 1936 for Woolworths own solid color dinnerware line. What collectors have come to be known as Maroon (rather than Red, which has reserved itself for the Vintage Fiesta color) was one of these original Homer Laughlin glazes, specially formulated for the department store giant. Maroon and spruce were both dropped relatively quickly from the line as new colors were introduced. Collectors of Homer Laughlin solid colored pottery will appreciate the Harlequin glaze colors that were not heavily shared with the companies many other pottery lines.
