3 pc Western Tea Set - Homer Laughlin - Anyone able to identify it?

[KC]

NOTE:  I am trying to figure out how to post my pictures because it won't take an upload and I have reported it to Ed!  I am sure he will fix it shortly!

UPDATE     UPDATE      UPDATE        UPDATE      UPDATE     UPDATE     UPDATE      UPDATE   UPDATEOkay figured out another way to add while Ed is working on this!     (Ha Ha - figured out a way to work around you Antique-Shop Ghost!  👻)

My set is on Homer Laughlin Eggshell Georgian!  More pictures below!


We inherited a family cabin over many years ago.  It was stuffed FULL of lots of great items.  We got lots of treasures that we were able to identify and some that we have puzzled over.

This set is one that I have puzzled over.  I even submitted it to the president of the Homer Laughlin collectors club approximately 13 years ago and he had never seen one like it before.

However, 2 weeks ago at La Hacienda restaurant I saw a Pottery set with a similar decal as the one on my teapot and discovered that in 1990, True West began reproducing Westward Ho Rodeo China. Seen below


Also found the similar decal on western pottery by Wallace China, Los Angeles, CA - see below

Homer Laughlin did make some with cowboys but not like the ones I have.  They also had some with Pueblo Indians and adobe on them with red lines as seen below but it was on the Century china/shape:

KC !!  Did you read my "utterly stunned" post ??  HLC and others associated with them made several of these type sets !!  HLC also sold their blanks in their shapes that were decorated by other companies !! When you can post a pic top & bottom I will look to see if it is in the book I bought !!

According to the book,, the teapot you posted is assumed to be Century by most but the shape is actually called Jade !! The pattern is Hacienda !!

Hope you saw a picture of my set that now shows up in the post!  It was the "daintier" style.  Now the ghost is paying me back and won't let me post the rest of the pics with the marks!  That's what I get for chidding it on the forum!  LOLOL  👻👻👻 

Notice the sugar/creamer have different pics on each side and lids.  No names/signatures on pictures like you see on other pieces above!  The Tea/Coffee Pot has the same picture on both sides but different pics on lid.

KC,, Look through these and see if it  has your pattern !!

Thanks for that resource Mart!  Any/all help is appreciated. 

Looked through it and didn't see mine on it.  Didn't even see pieces/pictures that were like mine.

What is so unusual about my set is it has a true Western theme: Cowboys & Indians, Adobe Mission? & Cactus!!!  I had heard through the family it was a "one of a kind" but just didn't believe it.  (Hubby's Aunt's family was extremely wealthy and we did find alot of things of theirs that we could verify were $$$ - they gave them to his family when they wanted to "discard" items!)  Now, I am starting to lean that way!

Living in Texas...I love it.  But would love to find out name of it, etc.

HLC made many experimental pieces !! Because your set has different patterns,,perhaps that's what it is !! Just trying different patterns to see how they looked before making a full run !! Could be part of two different sets with a similar theme !!  Its not in my book nor is it mentioned anywhere !!

Mart, the cabin was in California just north of Los Angeles. The family that originally owned the set was in LA and was friends of the Laughlin family.

I just researched and found that indeed the Laughlin family was in LA.

Hmmmm...
