Homer Laughlin American Potter Plate Exhibit of Capital & Labor Worlds Fair 1940

Description: Homer Laughlin 'American Potter' Plate Exhibit of Capital & Labor for New York World's Fair 1940 With the help of the National Brotherhood of Operative Potters, Homer Laughlin joined rival pottery makers Knowles, Hall, Cronin, and Paden City to form a collaborative exhibit, The American Potter, during the New York Worlds fair. Operating a kiln on the grounds, a wide variety of ceramics were created and sold as souvenirs. Many of the pieces will be marked "The American Potter, 1939 (or 1940) World's Fair Exhibit, Joint Exhibit of Capital and Labor". These whimsical wares will delight the collector of Vintage Fiesta pottery. The six original Vintage Fiesta glazes found their way onto many items and novelties produced at the fair. The highly detailed, embossed potters plaques that Bill Barrisford and Garvin Miller created for Homer Laughlin's participation in the Joint Exhibit of Capital and Labor for the New York 1939 Worlds Fair are a joyous celebration of talent, technique and artistry. The embossed plaques came in two scenes, "Thrower at the Wheel" and "Artist at the Wheel". This example of the "Thrower at the Wheel" in the original turquoise glaze, is nicely marked on the back and is in excellent condition. Measures 7 3/16" across.
