Currier and Ives Blue and White transfer decal dishes.
There are 9 dinner plates, 1 small or medium platter and 2 pie plates that can be used for open vegetables. (I don’t know whether you can cook in the pie plates; my guess is you would have put the whole, cold pie into it, just as a serving dish.) Most of the dinner plates marked by the company “Royal.” 1 or 2 dinner plates, the 2 serving dishes and the platter are unmarked. (From what I learned, this pattern was made by 3 different companies, with 2 of them matching in border design, completely.) The dinners and pies both picture the snow scene of the “Old Grist Mill,” with a horse drawn carriage crossing bridge, on left. Some cows center. The platter shows a snow-covered group of buildings with a cow or bull, center-bottom, with a horse-drawn sleigh a bit to its right. All plates match with the scrolled rims and the beaded edges. The platter and the dinners are all a dark blue and off-white, while the blue on the pies are 1 to 2 shades lighter. All in Very Good Condition (has typical tripod markings and imperfections, known for this type of pottery). No chips, cracks, etc. on any except for a slight glaze crack on the roof of the little, fully-exposed house, on the platter, that has yellowed with age. (Seen on close inspection.)
I used a cheap, key-chain camera for first two pictures. Close-up of platter comes close to the truer color.

(If you check on prices with www.replacements.com, you’ll see what a bargain this is.)
