I love my Michaud Artichoke box. I think it may become a collection. I have the beehive and apple now, as well. If you happen to have others, please keep me in mind and let me know.
Thank you again.

About Lenox History: The firm was started by Walter Scott Lenox. He had previously worked as a decorator and designer for several Trenton, New Jersey potteries beginning in 1875 and as design director for Ott & Brewer, then Willets Manufacturing.
His Ceramic Art Company, which opened in 1889, was different from all other potteries. The exquisitely painted and modeled vases, pitchers, and tea sets, produced at first by just 18 employees, were met with an enthusiastic reception and were carried in the most exclusive shops. By 1897, examples of Lenox's work were even included in the collection at the Smithsonian!
From then on Lenox played a part in every major event in the nation’s history. You might be surprised to know that It remains the only American porcelain in continuous use at the White House for more than 80 years, with new services created for four subsequent presidents: Franklin D. Roosevelt (1934), Truman (1951), Reagan (1981), and Clinton (2000).
When America entered World War II, Lenox joined the effort. The translucent ivory china had been used in lighting fixtures since 1910 and proved ideal for ship instrumentation, permitting dials to be read even when lit dimly from behind
In 1989 Lenox celebrated its centennial - a milestone reached by no other American porcelain company. And even today, its luster remains undiminished. Lenox china patterns, including Eternal™ (1965) and Federal Platinum™ (1991), consistently rank among the most popular nationwide. Newer designs, such as Winter Greetings™ (1995) by the noted nature artist Catherine McClung, have been hailed as contemporary classics.
In 2009, a few of the brand names under the Lenox umbrella were sold off to Enesco, helping to maintain a strong financial foundation in spite of the national recession.
