Manufacturer: Homer Laughlin China Company
This Homer Laughlin Harlequin gray casserole is pure Deco, isn't it? It measures 5 3/8 inches tall with the lid on and 9 7/8 inches wide. It is perhaps one of the most iconic pieces in this Frederick Rhead designed line, especially the angular handles and finial as well as the speed lines. The same shape can be seen in the covered sugar bowl. The covered casserole was produced from 1936 to 1959, but the gray one only from 1950 to 1959.

On page 239 of the 2000 Schiffer produced book titled Fiesta, Harlequin, Kitchen Kraft Dinnerwares and compiled by the Homer Laughlin China Collectors Association, the price given was $140 -$155.
The gray glaze was produced from 1950-1959, making this one of the harder colors to find. It is one of the very desirable 50s colors. It is in excellent shape. On some Harlequin casseroles the glaze tends to show some variation in color on the bottom piece especially around the base. This gray casserole has very even glazing, hard to find. I collect only seven Harlequin colors in my personal collection, which I have been building since 1988: maroon, spruce green, rose, gray, forest green, chartreuse, and of course medium green. I sell all other colors and duplicates of the colors I collect. I was lucky to find this in a local antique mall at a good price as part of a Super Bowl Sunday promotion. Thus, the reasonable price.
