The Seneca shape appeared in 1901 Homer Laughlin catalogs, but the line was discontinued by 1910. Like most other shapes made during this time, Seneca was an extensive line with almost eighty pieces including fourteen sizes of platters, seven sizes of jugs, eight bakers, and six nappies.
Each piece has a incised line inside the rim with light scroll embossing. Bases of hollowware are fluted with scalloped feet. Examples can be found with the "eagle over lion" White Granite mark or the Homer Laughlin Seneca backstamp.

These two pages come from a Homer Laughlin 1902 price scale catalog. Such catalogs were used to price wares based on shapes, decorations, and grades of ware. Here are the available treatments for the Seneca shape.

The number of treatments on Seneca diminished during its short run. This final image comes from an HLC 1909 pricing catalog and shows only one decal treatment being used in addition to gold stenciling. Seneca does not appear at all in the 1910 catalogs.
