Homer Laughlin's Black Tulip LaurelHollowPark.net, an informative website created and maintained by Mark Gonzalez. Copyright © 2009-. Black Tulip is a very popular and collectible pattern made by the Homer Laughlin China Company during the 1930s. It originated on the Century shape, but was also used on Wells, Jade, and Nautilus. Of the four, Nautilus examples are the most difficult to find. The print column below appeared in the trade journal, The Pottery, Glass & Brass Salesman on October 15, 1931 and discussed the Black Tulip decoration. To the right is a page from a company decal book with the Black Tulip decal and the treatment number, C-24. The "C" indicates the Century shape. On Jade, Black Tulip is J-224, and on the Wells shape, it is W-6733. To the right is the original Wells shop sample from the collection of the Fiesta Tableware Company.
