In 1923, the early works of Currier and Ives passed into public domain, making them available for reprint or duplication. Many companies took advantage of the charming lithographic images to enhance their products, but none more successfully than The Homer Laughlin and the Royal China Companies.
From the late 1940s to the mid-1950s The Homer Laughlin China Company produced a line of China known as Americana. Using the existing molds from their Willow and Brittany lines they issued 25 pieces, each with a different scene. The special achievement of Homer Laughlin China Company has always been its ability to mass-produce inexpensive dinnerware with outstanding artistic value. Although their line of Currier and Ives was short-lived, it is recognized as the first ware of its kind to successfully translate the transfer patterns found on expensive English china onto quality everyday dinnerware. Homer Laughlin Currier and Ives came in green, blue and rose and is easily identifiable by the leaf trim around the edge of each piece and the Currier & Ives/HLC back stamp.
