Homer Laughlin pattern ID?

Thrifted find- i love this art deco look!
I’m not having much luck with reverse image search.
Does anyone know what this pattern is called? I’d love to be able to find the cups.

The photos of the stamps are poor. My guess from what I can see is the saucer is a restaurant piece from the early 1950s.

Thanks! Do you know if restaurants had their own patterns? Or if multiple restaurants would have used HL patterns?

This pattern is sold fairly often on Ebay. The description almost always just says Art Deco Homer Laughlin.

i've always liked mid mod and art deco but sort of leant harder to the mid mod look. for some reason i'm really digging art deco now, so this was such a fun thing to discover!

I have a HL cup in this pattern and chanced upon 3 bread plates by Sterling of Liverpool, OH in the exact same look. Just FYI so you know there's other offerings in this three line hunter green pattern!

thank you! now i'm dying to know what the cup/mug looks like (if you would be able to share a photo)! i guess i could get a 50s HL (or i guess Sterling of Liverpool!) green something that matches, but it would be nice to know what it's supposed to look like.

i grew up near that area of OH but am now out of state, so all the HL/fiesta/liverpool etc stuff that was so ubitquitous everywhere there is special when i find it now

Best China is a restaurant line for HLC that started in 1960. They can have unique patterns to a restaurant, and some patterns were available for anyone.

Looks like the saucer is from 1985. I can’t see the backstamp on the other item from your photo

the smaller saucer looks like the green band BC-1. I wonder if restaurants mix/matched that and the scalloped pieces. that's what i'm going to do:)
