I'd like to list this creamer, and I believe it's unmarked Homer Laughlin. However, I don't know the mold pattern in order to be able to describe it accurately. I saw some other users discuss this subject very knowledgably on another thread. Can someone help me out? Can someone recommend a good reference book on this subject?
You need to click on the thumbprint to open the picture in full..From there, you right-click on the open pic; open PROPERTIES, and copy the ADDRESS, which changes slightly once pic is open. Then paste it with your UBB tags as you had done...but the address is now:

pickersangel: I do not think that it is Homer Laughlin, but I could be wrong, most of the serving pieces will be marked with the date and plant code, such as M44N8. The handle is not from any shape that I recognize. Can you provide a clear picture of the middle of the creamer so I can see the molding easier? Right in the middle when it starts to flare in. I will continue to look and see what I can find you. If you have a date code this would be so much easier, if it is Homer Laughlin. Heather

Heather--I believe it's the same mold pattern used for Priscilla (based on some intensive Ebay searching). We quite often find this particular pattern around here in various pieces, and I am of the understanding that they were offered as grocery store premiums, possibly in the '30's. None of it is marked. Hopefully, this scan will come up clearer than the photo.

pickersangel, you are talking about the Republic shape, and that is what I first thought this was. If you will search for Republic in the Homer Laughlin category you will see that the ruffly looking thing along the top edge of the creamer is not the same. So, that rules out Republic. It is simliar to some of the Kitchen Kraft with the Priscilla decal, but I just do not think it is. I will look some more for you. Heather

Having looked at the Priscilla pieces again, I see the definite differences in the foot and handle of the Priscilla creamer. The molding of this unmarked piece isn't nearly as sharp either.
OOPS!! You looked before I got the pic changed.

I have no idea how to make a link, but here is the Republic shape with the Maple decal. You should be able to tell if the edge is the same as yours. Heather
