HOTOVEN
HARKER
The oldest pottery in America
COOKINGWARE
It has a colorful logo
and then it has the Good Housekeeping seal of approval
All of this on the bottom of a custard cup. These have been around before I can remember. There are two of them, and I have two other baking dishes in different patterns. I can find information on other Harker patterns, but I can't find anything on this one. Does anyone know anything about it?
I went to the grocery store today - along with everyone else in the world, it seems. Buying a turkey now is like buying a car with the shifty price cuts and trade-in allowances. At one store the turkeys were VERY expensive, but you could get $17 off with an additional purchase of $20. Another store had turkeys for 43 cents a pound with a $50 purchase - and so on - I won't get into it.
I was complaining to my sister-in-law that I agreed to help out at a blood drive on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, for heavens sake. She said she has to decorate a Christmas tree at the zoo! Does that sound like fun or what - decorating a Christmas tree at a zoo?! It's all about what you get to go home at night and tell - "I handed out cookies and juice today." or "I decorated a tree at the zoo today."

I've asked a friend who sells antiques & collectibles if she knows.
She said it's an old Ohio pottery, but she isn't familiar with that pattern.
Sally - thanks for asking her. I think it is odd that the pattern is nowhere to be found. It is clearly Harker. Maybe someday your friend will run across it. Thanks.
