I've been thrifting again! Is this Homer Laughlin China?

Hi all. I picked up this little dish today (5"Lx3.25"Wx2"H) along with a bunch of other things and was curious to know what age it might be and who made it. When I search 'HLC' it come up with Homer Laughlin China (although there is a lot of info about the Fiesta ware!). I can't find a stamp like this one relating to the factory in my searching. I have checked Replacements but can't see anything similar. Also, it looks like there is a coat-of-arms type design on it with 'ROCC'- any ideas? Thanks!

 

Laughlin made a fair amount of "restaurant" ware. That's what I think this piece is. The CC at the end could be for "country club."

 

Ah, that makes sense thank you! I can only find stamped inked marks and nothing pressed like this so I can't figure out a date for it

 

It looks like the logo for River Oaks Country Club. I did find a reference for laughlin that was H L Co but I don't see the "o," on yours.

HLC (no o) is in Lehner's index.

 

I found some cups, looks like River Oaks Country Club in Houston: https://www.riveroakscc.net/Default.aspx?p=DynamicModule&pageid=407154&ssid=334044&vnf=1
Oooh, took a bath and got sniped. It's restaurant ware, but I have no idea of this piece's function.

 

Same place as SiS linked above.

 

I should have posted the cups, since they have a different mark: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/homer-laughlin-royal-china-blue-crest-1948615801

 

Yup. That is a more commonly seen stamp than the incised initials.

 

BTW, this shape looks like a flatware holder, often for spoons.

 

Thanks, I had no idea! The club was founded in 1923 so at least I know that it's no older than the 20s

 

I should have included these. I see the HLC mentioned in Lehner's index but in the marks shown I only see the stylized HLC along the lines of this one.


Debolt's has the mark that to me looks closer. (Except for the o)

 

This is great thank you!
