Lenox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lenox is a major manufacturer of Fine China Dinnerware and collectibles.
Lenox was founded in 1889 by Walter Scott Lenox and originally produced for the White House. Lenox china became popular in the early 20th century when separate dining rooms and hostess parties became the new trend.
Two of the first patterns Lenox produced came out in 1917, the Ming and Mandarin, which were around for over fifty years. Lenox products became well known thanks to designer Frank Graham Holmes[1] who won several artist awards during his lifetime.
Besides fine china and collectibles, Lenox also carries flatware and crystal[2].
