During the past 100 years, a vital revolution took place in the American dinnerware industry. In the late 1880's America was dependent upon imports (especially from England) for its fine dinnerware. In 1871 Homer Laughlin took on the challenge of making American china which would rival that imported from England. This marked the founding of Homer Laughlin China, which was to grow to become the largest potter in the world. During the first half of the twentieth century, the Homer Laughlin China Company developed a multitude of different china shapes, which appeared on millions of dinner tables throughout America.
