Circa 1941-1942 and 1959: Harlequin red glaze wasn't released into the famous Woolworth's dinnerware line until 1940. The color was quickly withdrawn when the uranium used in the glaze formula was recalled for WWII efforts. The color was re-released in 1959, but by then the AD cup and saucer set was being discontinued, making red harlequin hard to find. This example is in excellent condition without damage or signs of use. Measures 2" tall for the cup, 3/4" for the saucer height. Saucer is 5" wide and the cup is 2 3/4" wide. Ambitious collectors can hunt for all twelve colors in this shape, which was in production until 1959.
