Homer Laughlin China Collectors Association (HLCCA) is a non-profit organization comprised of collectors, antiques dealers, historians, etc., who share an interest in the dinnerware and other pottery products that were, and are, produced by the Homer Laughlin China Co. (1873- ). HLCCA offers a wide range of services, events, and other benefits for people whose interest levels vary from mild curiosity to sophisticated collecting.

"Fiesta" is only one line that is covered by HLCCA. They also publish a quarterly magazine, DISH Magazine, regarding the company's history of all lines, which also contains a good deal of retail and private ads. Subscription is included in Membership.

They sponser an annual convention in a major American city in which Homer Laughlin, numerous retail outlets, and avid colllectors from around the world display an impressive array of the Company's history in the form of their products back to the Company's beginnings in 1873, both for viewing and for sale.
