Lenox Tableware - A Potted HistoryLenox Tableware - Founded 1889 Trenton, New Jersey by Walter Scott Lenox. Walter had the gift of creativity mixed with business acumen. He did a really good job when he founded Lenox china. What strategies did he implement? Read on below to find out ..... 
A young artist-potter Walter Scott Lenox founded the works with a view from the very outset to create an ‘art studio’ atmosphere. He gathered around him many like-minded and talented designers and artisans. For me, this was just the type of visionary thinking that exactly explains not only how Lenox survived the Great Depression but still thrive today. In 1918 they were the first American company to create the official state table service for the White House and also had the honor of being the first American antique bone china company to exhibit at the National Museum of Ceramics, in Sevres, France. Lenox is now the only major producer of fine bone china in the United States. In recent years they have rounded the circle by selling china back to the Chinese, placing prestige wares in the Palace Museum in Peking's Forbidden City. A class act.
