SCARCE! Homer Laughlin Mothers Carnival Oats Fiesta® Cobalt Blue 5-3/4" Saucer

Description: SCARCE! Homer Laughlin Mothers Carnival Oats Fiesta® Cobalt Blue 5-3/4" Saucer This cobalt blue saucer from Homer Laughlin's Carnival line is a must-have for any collector. You can't find these on eBay or the web so they are eBay rare for sure - these are our saucers that have small fleabites or other flaws, but we do have a listing with our chip free saucers!! Beautiful dark blue cobalt color! These “Carnival” patterned pieces were included inside the boxes of Mother’s Carnival Oats some time between the late 1930’s and then through the early 1950’s (with different colors). Can you wrap your mind around that breakfast ceramic ware was shipped and put into cardboard boxes with oats? Well these were collectibles inside of them! With the success of Fiesta and other solid colored dinnerware, Quaker Oats decided on brightly colored breakfast sets. In early November 1937, development began on a small line that would make use of Fiesta glazes. Two styles of cups, saucers, and 6"plates were modeled. At the end of January 1938, all five ringed pieces - teacup, saucer, 6" plate, fruit cup, and oatmeal (aka cereal bowl) bowl - were put into production and sold by Quaker Oats as "Carnival." Carnival came in two color assortments. Glazes used in the 1930s were: dark blue (aka Cobalt), red (aka radioactive red), Fiesta yellow, light green, and ivory. In the 1950s the color assortment was: dark green (aka forest green), gray, Harlequin yellow, and turquoise. Some of the pieces in the 1930s glazes are harder to find than others. Light green and yellow 6" plates are rather easy to find whereas light green and cobalt pieces are scarce. Four backstamps were drawn by the Art Department, however they were not used. Carnival is the one line made for Quaker Oats that wasn't marked. Carnival was also one of the few lines make for Quaker Oats where other potteries didn't share in production. Perfect for both display, collecting, or even daily use for that historic charm. With their unique design and classic style, they are a true treasure for any collector or fan of Homer Laughlin's iconic Fiesta colors.
