The Homer Laughlin China Company is an American pottery company based in Newell, West Virginia, which is best known for producing the Fiesta line of dinnerware. ==History== The Homer Laughlin China Company initially began as Laughlin Pottery in East Liverpool, Ohio. The company was started in 1871 by brothers Shakespeare and Homer Laughlin, however Shakespeare would later leave the company in 1879.〔''Press Reference Library: Notables of the Southwest'', The Los Angeles Examiner, 1912, p. 45.〕 In 1889, William Edwin Wells joined Homer and seven years later the two would incorporate. Homer would sell his interest to Wells shortly thereafter. The firm experienced rapid growth and opened a facility in Newell, West Virginia in 1903. By the late 1920s all production was centered at the West Virginia factory and the Ohio site was abandoned. "Peak production for the company was in 1948 when they produced 10,129,449 dishes." In 2010, Homer Laughlin purchased Hall China〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.manufacturing.net/news/2010/03/homer-laughlin-hall-china-to-merge )〕 As of 2015 the company continues to manufacture all of its products in the United States.
