| Information on Currier and Ives |
| The Currier & Ives pattern was first produced in late 1949 and early 1950. This was the most important pattern that was produced by Royal China Company. It was made in only five colors: blue, green, pink, brown, and black. The pattern on the dinnerware was Currier & Ives prints. Each plate had a different scene. The dinner plates all have the same print, the salad plate has a different scene, along with the pie plate, saucers, bread and butters all have a different scene. In the 50’s they were distributed as premiums at the A & P stores. This must be where my mother bought hers, as we used this dinnerware when I was growing up. Currier & Ives has been a good collectable at malls and flea markets around the country. I found this information in the Dinnerware Book of the 20th Century: The Top 500 patterns. By Harry L. Rinker written in 1997. Please click here to see the Currier & Ives items that we have for sale. |
