Overview
A graceful ivory fine porcelain figurine depicting a bride and groom in a tender embrace, part of the celebrated 'Wedding Promises' collection. It features the signature Lenox creamy glaze with delicate hand-painted facial details and platinum-style accents.
Story
Lenox became the first American china to be used in the White House in 1918. This figurine carries that legacy of 'presidential' elegance into a personal celebration of love and commitment.
Maker / Origin
Founded by Walter Scott Lenox in 1889, the company aimed to create the finest American porcelain to rival European masters. They became synonymous with high-society bridal registries and have designed state dinnerware for six different U.S. Presidents.
Condition & Value
The figurine appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips to the fragile porcelain flower petals or fingers. The presence of a thrift store price tag suggests it has been handled, but the glaze remains bright. Excellent condition is vital for resale.
