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.
