    This is Homer Laughlin cup with an anchor on the side, most likely made for one of the large cruise ship lines, although the hallmark is hard to read. If anyone knows what the hallmark says, I would be pleased to hear from you.
    The Homer Laughlin China Company is a ceramics manufacturer located in Newell, West Virginia, United States, established in 1871 and widely known for its retail dinnerware line, Fiesta. The Homer Laughlin China Company began as Laughlin Pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio. The company was started in 1871 by brothers Shakespeare and Homer Laughlin; however, Shakespeare left the company in 1879. In 1889 William Edwin Wells joined Laughlin, and seven years later they incorporated the company. Laughlin sold his interest to Wells shortly thereafter. The firm experienced rapid growth and opened a facility in Newell, West Virginia, in 1903. By the late 1920s all production was centered at the West Virginia factory and the Ohio site was abandoned.
    The cup is in excellent condition with no damage or repairs.
    Thanks for looking and good luck if you decide to bid!
