Royal (USA) Currier and Ives Tea Cup
Title
Royal (USA) Currier and Ives Tea Cup
Subject
Kitchenware
Description
This tea cup was most likely produced by the Royal (USA) China Company (Sebring, Ohio). The company produced a popular series of dinnerware with artwork originally created by Currier and Ives (a 19th and early 20th century lithograph company), in this case the "Horse and Buggy" or "Old Grist Mill" pattern. This teacup is missing the handle and the saucer.
There is no visible makers mark, however identical examples were found on the internet that were made by Royal(USA) and were lacking makers marks.
