Beautiful vintage Homer Laughlin Early American Homes plate featuring Mt. Vernon, the historic home of George Washington. Classic red transferware design with floral border and detailed architectural illustration. Made in the USA, this collectible plate is perfect for Americana enthusiasts, transferware collectors, or historical décor displays.
This vintage plate comes from the Early American Homes series by Homer Laughlin, one of America’s most iconic pottery manufacturers. Founded in 1871 in East Liverpool, Ohio, and later expanding to West Virginia, Homer Laughlin is best known for producing durable and decorative dinnerware, including the famous Fiesta line.
The Early American Homes series celebrated significant landmarks in American history, with this plate depicting Mt. Vernon, the beloved Virginia estate of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The red transferware design showcases the neoclassical architecture of Washington’s home, framed by an ornate floral border typical of mid-20th-century commemorative pottery.
Collectors value these plates not only for their craftsmanship but also for their connection to American heritage and patriotic pride. Transferware collectors and Americana decorators often display them as part of historical wall collections or table settings that evoke early American charm
