Homer Laughlin 1929 Art Glaze Empress Octagon This is a very rare piece of Homer Laughlin which I believe is the Art Glaze in the Empress or Yellowstone shape that has the art glaze that is also known as Wells. It is an irridescent glaze featuring a chinese or japanese pagoda with ming flowers and trees. The platter measures approx. 13" x 10" and looks unused with almost no utensil marks. There are some marks in the yellow from wear, but very shiny. There is also on the right side which looks like a raised manufacturer flaw. It looks like the decal was cut out because the outsides of the flowers on the bottom are missing?. I think this was the original way of production. There are no chips, cracks or crazing except one little under rim flea bit. It is marked with the green homer laughlin logo and C9N6 which stands for 1929. See the picture for exact plate.
