Lenox Embossed Floral White Pitcher Appraisal
Category: Pitcher
Description
This is a Lenox Embossed Floral White Pitcher. The pitcher is made of creamy white porcelain and features an embossed floral and lattice design around the body. It has a tall, elegant shape with a wide spout and a sturdy handle. A thin band of gold gilt accentuates the lip and around the top of the handle attachment area. The base is slightly flared and also bears embossed scrollwork. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the image. There may be some light wear to the gold gilt consistent with age and use, but this is not clearly discernible. The craftsmanship appears to be of high quality, typical of Lenox porcelain. The embossed details are sharp and the glaze is smooth and even. Based on similar Lenox patterns, this pitcher likely dates to the late 20th century. It is a decorative and functional piece that would complement a variety of decor styles.
Appraisal Report
Upon examination of the provided images, this Lenox Embossed Floral White Pitcher presents in what appears to be very good to excellent condition. The creamy white porcelain body, featuring an elegant embossed floral and lattice design, shows no visible chips, cracks, or signs of repair. The gold gilt trim on the lip and handle appears largely intact, though minor wear typical for a piece from the late 20th century may be present and would require in-person inspection to fully assess. The piece is consistent with known Lenox quality and design language from that era. Market research indicates that while Lenox porcelain is widely collected, this particular style is relatively common and accessible. Comparable sales for similar Lenox decorative pitchers in excellent condition on secondary marketplaces like eBay, Etsy, and Replacements, Ltd. typically fall within the $30 to $50 range. The value is driven more by its decorative and functional appeal rather than rarity. While the visual indicators suggest this is an authentic Lenox piece, complete authentication cannot be definitively confirmed from images alone. A physical examination to inspect the backstamp on the underside, feel the quality of the porcelain, and minutely examine the gilt and glaze under magnification would be required for full verification.
