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.
