Over a dozen different shapes were made until it was finally phased out in the late 1920s. Sets were made for the home as well as for use in hospitals and hotels. A standard set for the home was made up of: a chamber pot - usually a one handled bowl with a lid, a slop jar - larger than a chamber pot with handles on either side, a combinet - similar to a slop jar, but with a wire handle, a covered soap dish - often with a circular insert, shaving mug, brush jar, two sizes of ewers, and a basin. Here are the verified HLC toilet ware shapes with approximate dates of production: Victor, 1884, Etruscan, 1886, Denver, 1887, Lenox, 1890, Cable, 1890s, Nanita, 1893, Florentine, 1895, Arno, late 1890s, Superba, late 1890s - 1906, Catalina, late 1890s - very early 1900s, Mingo, 1902 - 1929, Wyoming (Majestic), 1902 - late 1910s, Bridal, 1902 - late 1910s, Duchess, 1905 - 1929 We have other antique jars, mugs in the store as well as many other antique Homer Laughlin pieces (plus super rare items).
