(These are not necessarily the most important or
representative pieces
of Lenox, just the ones I've happened to have and be able to
photograph.)
Lenox before it was
Lenox.
This tankard is from the Ceramic Art Company (also know as CAC or CAC
American Belleek), founded by Walter Scott Lenox and renamed Lenox in
1906.
CAC did factory finishing and also sold blanks to be finished by home
artists - I believe this was a home artist project.
I have a special fondness
for this Lenox plate - it's the one I usually eat my Christmas dinner
on!
Lenox issued 13 plates in this series, featuring wreathes representing
the 13 original colonies of the United States. My mother gave me
one per year as long as the series ran, so I have all 13.
I usually dine on the Rhode Island plate since I lived there back in
the '80s, and I just like the clam shells and cranberries.
This is the contemporary Lenox pattern Ashton Park.
A Lenox Christmas vase
- pretty!
(Note the reticulated rim - don't overfill this with water!)
Lenox did a whole
series of these little woodland wildlife
figurines. These are the five I happened to get ahold of.
Lenox did a series of
figurines of Wildlife of the Seven Continents.
These elephants represented Asia.
