Lenox China
The Ceramic Art Company of Trenton, New Jersey was founded by Walter Scott Lenox and Jonathan Coxon Sr. in 1889.  Lenox became sole proprietor in 1894 and formed Lenox, Inc. in 1906.  Several presidents of the United States have commissioned sets of china from Lenox....President Woodrow Wilson in 1917, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman.  First Lady Nancy Reagan ordered a large set (4,732 pieces) in 1981.  The raised golden seal in the center of the service plates took 2 1/2 - 3 hours each to hand paint!  Presidents William J. Clinton and George W. Bush also commissioned sets of Lenox china.  Lenox began making hand-blown lead crystal in 1966, Temperware (freezer to oven to microwave) in 1972 and silver flatware in 1991.  Lenox Collections, founded in 1981, produces sculptures, plates, ornaments, decorative accents and jewelry.
