Hi Jami,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Walter Scott Lenox established the Ceramic Art Company in Trenton, New Jersey in 1889. It became Lenox, Inc. in 1906. Lenox became the first American china to be used in the White House (President Woodrow Wilson, 1918) and remains closely tied to official U.S. state dinner services. Their porcelain is known for being fine yet durable, usually with ivory-colored bodies and often decorated with real gold or platinum trim.
Lenox patterns are widely collected, with some discontinued designs commanding strong resale interest. They produced both formal fine china and everyday casual dinnerware. The Windsong pattern was introduced in 1954. It features a delicate floral motif with gray and blue flowers and platinum trim on Lenox’s signature ivory china body. The pattern was eventually retired in 1978.
Most Lenox china services can be costly to purchase new, or to acquire individual replacement pieces, but when offered at auction, most sets sell for quite modest amounts - typically between $2 -$4 per piece.
