About Us

Since 1998, the HLCCA has helped collectors learn, share, and expand their collections and knowledge. We are a member-operated, 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, dedicated to education and appreciation of the wares created by the Homer Laughlin China Company and Fiesta Tableware Company. Here’s some of what we do: 

The Dish 
This 32-page quarterly magazine is filled with articles and photos generated by our members, covering history, the latest news and developments regarding Fiesta, collector tips and stories, and more. 

Annual Conference
Each July, members gather for four days of scheduled activities: informative tours, seminars, multimedia presentations, auctions, consignment sales, and fun! The conference location alternates between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and other locations around the country, giving attendees the opportunity to travel and explore other locales. 

Pottery Exclusives and Online Store
Throughout the year, and at conference, members can purchase Fiesta items selected and created exclusively for our organization, some designed by our members. 

Our store offers exclusive pottery items, back issues of The Dish, and the HLCCA Guide to Fiesta, Harlequin, & Kitchen Kraft. 

Resources
The HLCCA book Fiesta, Harlequin, & Kitchen Kraft is regarded as an excellent resource for information on those vintage shapes. 

This website contains back issues of The Dish in PDF form for member reference. 

Connections
HLCCA provides opportunities to bring collectors together and establish community. You can get to know other collectors from your region, meet those who share similar interests, and learn about ways to add to your collection. 

There is a members-only Facebook group (DISHing with HLCCA) and an Instagram page. 

Giving
As a nonprofit organization, the HLCCA makes it a priority to donate to various organizations dedicated to pottery education and history, or that supportive the communities near the Fiesta Tableware Company. Thousands of dollars have been donated to institutions such as The Museum of Ceramics, the International Museum of Dinnerware Design, the Newell Community Improvement Coalition, and more.
