In 1989 Lenox celebrated
its centennial — a landmark reached by no other American porcelain company.
Its luster remains undiminished. Lenox china patterns, including Eternal
(1965) and Federal Platinum (1991), consistently rank among the most popular
nationwide. Autumn has been popular since 1918 and is still popular. Newer designs, such as Winter Greetings (1995) by the noted
nature artist Catherine McClung, have been hailed as contemporary classics.
And while Lenox is a leader in such current trends as transitional china and
mix-and-match place settings, it continues to employ centuries-old craft
techniques, including piercing, jeweling and etching. At this time
Lenox has 40% of the China market.
Walter Scott Lenox was born
in 1859 in the "Staffordshire of America": Trenton, N.J. Laced with
transportation lines and located near sources of fuel and clay, the state
capital became the country's leading ceramics center in the 19th century,
with some 200 potteries. Little wonder young Walter was inspired to devote
his life to creating porcelain that rivaled the best in the world.
Lenox's Ceramic Art
Company, which opened in 1889, was different from all other potteries. It
was organized as an art studio, rather than a factory, and offered
one-of-a-kind artwares in lustrous ivory china, rather than a full line of
ceramics. The exquisitely painted and modeled vases, pitchers and tea sets,
produced at first by just 18 employees, were met with an enthusiastic
reception and carried in the most exclusive shops. By 1897 examples of
Lenox's work were included in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution.
Walter Scott Lenox died
in 1920, having realized his dream and founded a company dedicated to the
"perfection of American porcelain."
