Historical NotesThis dinner plate was part of the Hudson line (H-135 pattern) that debuted in 1908 from Homer Laughlin China Company and was discontinued by the late 1920s. Homer Laughlin (1843-1913) was originally from Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and established the Homer Laughlin China Company in 1876 in East Liverpool, Ohio. By 1907 it had moved to Newell, West Virginia, and become the largest pottery factory in the country.
