Lenox Classics is a gift line of beautiful fine porcelain. From popular Disney charaters, to animals, to wedding pieces, to birthday and motherhood gifts, this collection offers a variety of heart warming subjects. The Lenox tradition began over 100 years ago, in 1889, with founder, Walter Scott Lenox. Starting his career as an apprentice at a small shop in New Jersey, he grew to become the premier maker of fine china art and crystal. Today at Lenox, they strive to carry on his tradition - "to create a class of artistic ceramics that would merit the distinction of high esteem, in that they might be treasured, not only for their beauty and present worth, but for their prospective value to posterity as legitimate works of art." Each figurine is made of fine china and is cast then meticulously hand painted. Most pieces are completed with a gloss finish to be silky smooth to the touch and to have a classic elegant appeal to the eye. Lenox Classics is one of the finest contemporary collections on the market today. Individually boxed.
