The syrup pitchers for the Homer Laughlin solid colored dinnerware lines are a favorite find among collectors. All were made for just a short amount of time with the Harlequin syrups being the shortest in production. The metal slidding lid is often engraved "Dripcut" while the bases are unmarked. All examples are difficult to find and are a cherished part of the collection.
