Silver wares from the Lenox Company (USA)

Lenox silver

The Lenox Porcelain Company was founded in 1889 by Walter Scott Lenox in Trenton, New Jersey. Originally, the company produced art pottery, but soon shifted its focus to fine china and porcelain. In the early 20th century, Lenox acquired the Meriden Britannia Company, a well-known silver manufacturer, and began producing silver-plated flatware and hollowware under the Lenox name.

During the 1920s and 1930s, Lenox produced a number of silver-plated items in art deco and modernist styles, including cocktail shakers, candlesticks, and trays. The company also produced a line of sterling silver flatware and hollowware in the 1940s and 1950s.

In the 1960s, Lenox began producing a line of silver-plated giftware, including picture frames, desk accessories, and baby gifts. The company also produced a line of sterling silver Christmas ornaments during this time.

In the 1980s, Lenox introduced a new line of silver-plated flatware more... called "Eternal," which featured a classic, timeless design. The company also produced a line of silver-plated serving pieces and accessories to complement the Eternal flatware.

Lenox no longer produces silver products, as the company has reverted to its core business of fine china and porcelain. less...
