I am selling this piece for my mom who made the purchase in an antique shop in upstate NY in the 1970s. It has been kept in near perfect condition. This is a vintage Harlequin relish tray and is extremely rare. Partnering with F.W. Woolworth, Harlequin would turn out to be their best selling dish line of all time. The line was introduced in 1936, and this relish tray was a late addition in 1940 at the height of popularity. Harlequin was a line of dinnerware produced by Homer Laughlin. The base for the Harlequin relish tray was the same shape as the Fiesta relish tray, but the inserts are a different shape and size and used the Harlequin colors.The vintage relish tray had also come in all turquoise but this color combo is very rare and unique. There is a small scratch on the bottom edge of the dish, not noticeable when plate is facing up. The item was featured on the cover of a 1982 vintage collectors Fiesta Encyclopedia book. Book not included, just for reference. Please ask any questions!
