Product Overview
A beautiful Royal China The Old Curiosity Shop 5 1/2 inch Berry, Fruit Bowl or Dessert Bowl.  During the 1950's Royal China started Manufactured this interesting Sage Green Dinnerware Pattern.  It features authentic reproductions of old world traditional scenes and was inspired by Charles Dickens novel "The Old Curiosity Shop".  If you are ever in London, I am told the actual antique shop that is featured on the Dinner Plate and in the novel still exists on Portsmouth Street where it has stood since 1567. The Old Curiosity Shop like most other Royal China patterns was sold through many retail outlets and given away as premiums in supermarkets, etc.  It was made in  Green, Pink, Blue and Black but Green is the color that seems to have survived the test of time and is readily available to Collectors. This is ultimate collectible Dinnerware - collected since the 50's and still very popular today. Condition: Excellent Vintage Preowned!  Look unused.  Beautiful!    NO chips, cracks or crazing.    The Royal China Company manufactured dinnerware in Sebring, Ohio from 1934 to 1986. The company had various owners after 1969 including the Jeanette Glass Corporation and Coca-Cola. They produced a large variety of dinnerware patterns (over 1400). The most popular being the blue and white Currier & Ives.  Other recognizable Royal China patterns include Memory Lane, Colonial Homestead, Willow Ware, Currier & Ives, Fair Oaks, and Bucks County. They also produced numerous serving pieces as well as advertising and decorative pieces to compliment the dinnerware. Royal China sold the dinnerware through retail department stores, catalog mail order houses and supermarket chains.    WE LOVE The Old Curiosity Shop AND HAVE A NICE SELECTION FOR YOU!   See more here ----> D & R Vintage Dinnerware - Old Curiosity Shop REMEMBER - YOU ALWAYS SAVE MONEY ON SHIPPING WHEN YOU COMBINE MULTIPLE ITEMS INTO ONE SHIPMENT!  We offer combined shipping discounts when you add multiple items into your eBay "Shopping Cart".  Most times we can safely combine multiple items into one larger box and You SAVE Shipping $$$ and Qualify for our Larger Order Discounts.  (Click here to see all our Current Discount Offers) CUSTOM GROUP PACKAGES - ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A PARTICULAR ITEM OR MULTIPLE ITEMS IN THIS PATTERN?  We list items items individually for your convenience, but we are always willing to group items together in a Special Package with better pricing if you have a list of items in this pattern you are looking for.  Between the Group Discount and Combined Shipping - you will save money!  Also, many times we have more items in stock than we have listed on eBay - Just message us if you don't see what you're looking for...  D & R Vintage Dinnerware and Replacements <---------- Click here to explore more in our store!           Whether you are a Collector, looking for a Replacement, or just looking for that special conversation piece to decorate your Home or Office with – you can buy with confidence from D & R Vintage Dinnerware and Replacements. From your very first purchase experience you will see why we are so different!  Look at what our Customers are saying about us ------>   Click here to see our Feedback Ratings!  We search throughout the US to bring you interesting and unique finds for you to experience and discover in our store.  Every Dinnerware and Replacement item we sell is cleaned, carefully inspected, and ready for you to enjoy from the moment you open the box.
