Rococo was first made by the Homer Laughlin China Company in 1891. The shape itself was discontinued by the late 1890s, however Rococo teacups, saucers, and platters were made until 1906. Pieces are generally marked with the "eagle over lion' backstamp.
The Bersback, Cummings & Co. advertisement below ran in the Pottery and Glassware Reporter in the early 1890s. The pieces shown on the left are Rococo while the combinet on the right is the Lenox shape.
Rococo was originially made with jagged finials and handles. Shortly after its introduction, the handles and finials were replaced by smooth versions.
Many of the Rococo hollowware shapes are similar to the heavily embossed Louis XVI shape.

Shown are several pages from an 1895 Homer Laughlin brochure featuring the Rococo shape with trade sizes.
