Homer Laughlin China, Chelsea, China Replacements

Replacement China in the Chelsea patterns made by Homer Laughlin China.

The Chelsea shape was a product of the early 1930s.  Chelsea has some of the visual design elements of Virginia Rose and was made by both Homer Laughlin and Taylor, Smith & Taylor.  It was Taylor, Smith & Taylor who produced the shapes in a more extensive tableware line, with their backstamp predominately displayed.  Chelsea was made by both manufacturers for use by Quaker Oats.  It was a short lived shape with only a few pieces made.
