Story
Sears, Roebuck and Co. launched the Harmony House brand in 1940 as a revolutionary way for the burgeoning American middle class to achieve a professionally decorated look without the designer price tag.
Maker / Origin
Harmony House was a private label brand of Sears, which contracted top-tier American potteries like Hall China, Universal, and Salem to manufacture their designs.
Condition & Value
The decal remains vibrant with excellent color retention, though there are minor surface scuffs consistent with light use. While these were produced in significant quantities, the value is driven by the nostalgia market and the condition of the silver trim.
