Part of the “Jaderose” line by Homer Laughlin, made in Alliance, Ohio—known for its durable semi-vitreous ware. Interesting Facts: - Jaderose was part of Homer Laughlin’s mid-century semi-vitreous dinnerware lines, produced mainly in the 1950s, with floral patterns aimed at the postwar homemaker. - Semi-vitreous refers to a type of ceramic that’s partially vitrified—meaning it has been fired to a point where it’s partly glass-like (non-porous), but not fully. - The Alliance, Ohio mark and the Jaderose name are both relatively rare—this wasn’t a high-volume pattern like their restaurant ware or Fiesta lines. - Homer Laughlin was a key player in making affordable, American-made ceramics during the 20th century. Collectors often prize these sets for their sturdy build and nostalgic floral patterns. - Magnolias (the featured bloom) symbolize dignity and resilience.
