Provincial was a hollowware shape created from May to August 1968. They include the covered sugar, creamer, coffeepot, shakers, teacup, sauceboat, casserole, and a 36s bowl. A teapot was added in November of the same year. The hollowware was paired with either coupe shape flatware or Cavalier, depending on the pattern.
The most common pattern on Provincial is treatment C-337: Sheffield Provincial. It was one of several lines of dinnerware made by Homer Laughlin in the late 1960s to early 1970s for the distributor J&H International. Flatware was decorated with an underglaze treatment. To the right is a Sheffield Provincial dinner plate. The creamer, sauceboat, and teacup were glazed in solid blue. The bases of the other hollowware were glazed in solid blue with contrasting white lids, except for the butter dish which had a blue lid and white base.
Provincial is very similar to HLC's Bristol from 1970. While they share the same flatware, Provincial's hollowware is not as curved at the bottom as Bristol's. For more on the Bristol shape, see this page.
