Lenox Belleek Vintage Virginian Coffee Service 6 Cups

Lenox -

Lenox Original Virginian Coffee Service

For your consideration, Lenox Coffee Service, or partial service.  Comprised of the Coffee Pot, Creamer/Pitcher, six Cups and Saucers, one handled serving tray.

If you are know the Lenox Virginian pattern, this set will look very familiar.  Undoubtedly, this set was the precursor to Virginian which was produced c.1910.  The pieces in this set carry the early Lenox Belleek Palette mark which was used from 1906 to 1926.  We can safely assume this set was produced by Lenox in the 1906-1909 range.

All embellishments are hand-painted, no use of decals anywhere on any pieces.  

Coffee Pot

• Height to top of the handle 9-1/2"
• Spout to handle 8"
• Base just shy of 3" square
• Free from any damage, including and especially delicate spout and lid.  No chips, just wonderful.
• Interestingly, this piece is not marked

Creamer

• Height to top of handle just shy of 6"
• Width from outside handle to spout 4-1/8"
• Base 2-1/8" square
• Free from any damage

Platter

• Diameter 12-1/2"
• Handle to handle 14"
• There is light wear to the gold wash on the rim of the platter (shown below)

Cups 

• Six total
• Mouth just shy of 3-1/2 at 3-3/8"
• Height 2-1/8"
• Two have fleabites on the underside of the foot (one example shown below)
• One cup has a gray mark under the cameo of our young lady (shown below)

Saucer

• Six total
• 5-1/2" diameter
• One has fleabite on underside of saucer, minuscule, (not shown)

This set is truly a rare find.  That expression is used over and over on eBay but in this case it definitely applies.   Unfortunately our artist friend from Lenox did not sign any pieces and unless I hear from a knowledgeable source, the artist will remain anonymous.

My preference is to keep this important set together and not break it up into individual pieces for sale.  Depending upon the interest, that may be a consideration in the future.

The buyer of this set will become the new caretaker of a significant piece of Lenox and American pottery history.
