Information on Currier and Ives |
The Currier & Ives pattern was first produced in late 1949 and early 1950. Currier and Ives was the most important pattern that was produced by Royal China Company. Currier & Ives 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. |
