  • Produced in the very late 40s to mid 50s
  • Shapes come from other HLC lines such as:
    • Brittany
    • Willow
      (Americana's shapes are basically identical to Willow's)
  • Assortment consists of approx. 25 items
  • Each shape has a different scene with a leaf border in red
  • Most items are marked with a Currier & Ives/HLC backstamp

From a 1950s Americana ad:

“...the first ware of its kind to equal the distinguished
quality and soft rose-pink color of fine imported ware.
Americana has scenes taken from the finest Currier and Ives
prints - printed from copper engravings under the glaze so
they can never come off.”

A set consisting of 53 pieces could be purchased for $19.99.
Matching frosted tumblers were sold as go alongs.
