Vintage Royal China Currier and Ives Blue Transferware 5 Piece Dinnerware Set

This five-piece vintage dinnerware set was manufactured by the Royal China Company in Sebring, Ohio, between 1950 and 1986. Each piece features underglaze blue transferware imagery based on mid-19th-century American lithographs by printmakers Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives.  The collection features a signature border design consisting of a fine scroll pattern and a rope-like trim running along the outer rim.The five components included in this set are an 8-inch by 7.25-inch tab-handled plate featuring The Old Oaken Bucket scene, a 7.25-inch flat plate depicting a cottage scene, a flat tea cup with a carriage illustration, a matching 6.125-inch circular saucer showcasing a steamboat graphic, and a 1-inch deep by 8.5-inch wide rimmed soup bowl featuring an ice skating scene.  Serving items produced early in the manufacturing run between 1951 and 1956 display integrated scrolls on the handles.  Very good overall condition except NOTE: The round 7.25” salad/dessert plate has a chip as shown close up in photo #8.
