Biography

The Victor Shape was produced by the Homer Laughlin China Company in the early 1880's.  The ironstone line was usually marked with the eagle over the lion backstamp which also says: "Premium Stone China."

Both table ware and toilet ware was produced.

There are two types of finials - one is the open, fluted style that matches the handles.  The other is a closed, ornate version with a rayed triangular design in the middle and two "comma" like flanking sides.
