Story
In the late 20th century, Lenox captured the hearts of nature lovers with their exquisite garden bird collections. This piece brought the vibrant, hopeful colors of the American bluebird directly into the elegant, formal spaces of the home.
Maker / Origin
Founded in 1889 by Walter Scott Lenox, the company set out to create the finest American porcelain, eventually becoming the first American china to be used in the White House. By the late 20th century, Lenox expanded its artistry into highly collectible, themed decorative art pieces that combined their signature warm ivory glaze with detailed naturalistic illustrations.
Condition & Value
The vase appears to be in mint, unused condition with no visible chips, cracks, or wear to the gold gilding. The original presentation box shows minor shelf wear but remains structurally sound. Excellent condition with original packaging commands the higher end of the value range.
