Overview

Identification is definitively confirmed by the original factory sticker on the base, which explicitly states the maker (Lenox), model (Georgian Porcelain Tall Vase), SKU (817007), and origin (Made in China).

Story

Lenox is a premier American porcelain brand historically known for its ivory-toned body and 24k gold accents. The Georgian collection reflects a traditional, neoclassical aesthetic that was highly popular for wedding registries and formal home decor during the 1990s and 2000s. This specific piece was manufactured in China, reflecting the brand's shift toward overseas production for its giftware lines in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The secondary market for late 20th-century Lenox giftware is highly saturated.

Market Analysis

The secondary market for late 20th-century Lenox giftware is highly saturated. While retail replacement services maintain high asking prices, peer-to-peer sales are significantly softer due to abundant supply and shifting generational tastes away from formal neoclassical porcelain. Items in pristine condition, especially those retaining their original boxes, move best on fixed-price platforms, whereas unboxed items often languish or sell for steep discounts at local auctions.

Value Drivers

▲ Definitive identification via original factory sticker and SKU (817007) removes buyer hesitation.

▲ Large 16-inch 'Tall' form commands a significant premium over the smaller 7.5-inch and 10-inch versions of the same pattern.

▲ 24k gold trim and intricate neoclassical relief pattern maintain appeal for traditional decor buyers.

Concerns

▼ Unverified condition of the delicate scalloped rim — any chips or gold wear would drop the value to the auction floor (±60%).

▼ Lack of original box reduces appeal for the gift-giving market, limiting the high-end retail potential.

▼ Saturated secondary market for late 20th-century Lenox giftware creates general downward price pressure.

Best Venue

List on a fixed-price marketplace like eBay or Etsy with clear, well-lit photos specifically highlighting the integrity of the gold scalloped rim and the factory base marks. Avoid general estate auctions where mass-produced giftware of this era tends to sell near the $20-$30 floor.

Upside Potential

If the original box and packaging are located and the item is confirmed to be in flawless, unused condition, it could reliably reach the $110-$120 upper retail asking range observed on collector-focused platforms.
