I was shocked when I saw the Lenox Butterfly Meadow dinnerware set. The bowls are the exact same pattern and shape as a slightly smaller piece I received as a wedding gift. Unfortunately, I don't remember who gave it to me, but I had no idea of its value. I have always kept it in my buffet and with all of the moves I have made since then (1973), it is in perfect condition. What a find!

What a find indeed! Thanks for posting.

I have Lenox Poppies on Blue china stone that I've been using for over 20 years (it's long since been discontinued). I was given a new set of dinnerware when we got married a year almost 2 years ago, but I still use my Lenox. I just love everything about it.

I was surprised last night when a woman called in and said she wasn't familiar with the company. I grew up with Lenox so I just assumed everyone had heard of them.

It is something we hold dear isn't it? I am surprised as well that others don't know the name as it's in our history here in the USA. I know I live in earthquake country and if the house falls down.....oh, well..........my china is my concern, seriously. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin} Thanks for posting.

Thanks WhiteLinen - beautiful pics!

My pattern is Solitaire with the platinum edges - the Presidential Collection. It lends itself so well to so many colors and patterns. Hmmmm, I enjoy having a ribbon cache, maybe a china cache might not be a bad thing. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

I have my Grandmother's Lenox china (Lenox Rose) as well as her sterling flatware (Kirk Stieff Repousse). Every time I set a formal table (holidays mostly) I think of her and am so happy to have her beautiful things. I also have her pink crystal stemware which ties in with the rose and floral perfectly. Brings back so many memories of when she used to entertain for bridge club and ladies' luncheons.

Checking in as the self professed Tableware Ho of the board. Will work for Lenox, other fine china, crystal, table linens and other flatware/serveware. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

As a little kid, I grew up in my grandparents home. My grandmother had her MIL's fine china from Germany stored in beautiful china cabinets. Along with linen. Real linen that you wash and press and sterling silver flatware. The table was set every Sunday as well as special occasions. Sadly my mother ditched the tradition.

I have Lenox Hannah Gold as my dinnerware. I also have Snow Holly Tree Gold dessert plates for Christmas. I had fine Lenox crystal but as fragile as it was I have been replacing it with Lenox leaded crystal which is more durable but less 'ring' to it. I got a fortune for the remaining pieces on ebay. {#emotions_dlg.sneaky}

I still want real Thomas Ferguson Irish tablecloths Wallace Silversmiths flatware *sigh* {#emotions_dlg.blush}
