In the early 1900s, many American pottery companies started to produce decorated specialties. The "specialties" were made up of shapes that didn't belong to any particular dinnerware line, and were intended to be more decorative with fancy and ornamental styling. Most of the treatments consisted of colorful decals with blended tints. All of this was done in response to the wares being imported from Bavaria and other parts of Europe as well as products produced by domestic firms such as Rookwood and Roseville. Art china was also made in the United States by Brunt, Smith-Phillips, Warwick, Taylor, Smith & Taylor, National China, Owen China, and many others. The Homer Laughlin China Company started their line of Art China in 1902 under the direction of Arthur Mountford. The special "Laughlin Art China" gold marking was applied over the glaze and wasn't always used. It appears mainly on Currant, White Pets, Monks, Gypsy, Juno, Laughlin Blue, Ruby, as well as several other patterns. Pattern: Monks - monk subjects, tinted dark brown, no gold The stein mugs measure 3" in diameter at top, 4" in diameter at base, 5-1/2" wide with handles and 4-3/4" tall. They hold approximately 14oz of liquid. Condition: Overall very good antique preowned condition. Displays beautifully. Typical imperfections and wear marks from this over 100 year old piece.
