Lenox Hand-Decorated Rectangular Serving Platter

This item is a large, rectangular serving platter, likely made of ceramic or porcelain, characterized by its glossy, off-white or ivory finish. The underside of the platter is depicted, showcasing a raised, oval-shaped footrim for stability. The edges of the platter, while not fully visible, appear to have a gently scalloped or undulating form, suggesting an ornate design on the upper surface. A key feature is the presence of several labels on the base. Most prominently, there is a gold-colored sticker that clearly states "HAND DECORATED WITH 24-K GOLD," indicating a high level of craftsmanship and potentially valuable materials. Beneath this sticker, a red mark with the word "LENOX" is partially visible, identifying the renowned American manufacturer of fine china. Below the 'LENOX' mark, the word 'MADE IN USA' is also discernible, confirming its origin. The surface of the base appears smooth and well-glazed, with no obvious cracks, chips, or significant wear visible in the provided image. There are a few very minor dark specks, possibly dust or small imperfections in the glaze, but these do not seem to detract from the overall condition. The quality indicators include the 'Lenox' brand name, the 'Hand Decorated' claim, and the use of '24-K Gold', all pointing to a premium piece. The style suggests a classic or traditional aesthetic, likely from the mid to late 20th century.
