The Wide Variety of Lenox China Patterns
When someone mentions the phrase “china patterns,” it likely conjures up a mental image of two fusty, older women sitting down to high tea in a doily-filled dining room. Yet there is actually a surprisingly wide array of china patterns out there. In fact, Lenox has a multitude of options to choose from in a variety of different styles. If you’re looking to pick out some new china, you need look no further than Lenox.
Lenox china has been around for over a century. The company even made the first North American bone china to be used at the White House, for President Woodrow Wilson. They’ve also crafted collections for presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Don’t let their presidential clientele fool you, however—Lenox doesn’t just make high end, bespoke china. They carry patterns ranging from simple and classic to quirky and modern. Whatever your taste, however basic or ornate, you will find a perfect fit within the Lenox catalog.

In fact, you could spend hours browsing the various patterns Lenox has on offer. Every category of pattern—modern, floral, classic, feminine, masculine, ornate, simple, seasonal, etc.—could be broken down into subcategories or overlapping categories and so on. Let’s say you want a floral pattern. If you want a more ornate pattern with an Eastern flare, the gold and jewel-toned Floral Majesty might be the best pick for you. If you want a simple, modern floral pattern, however, Watercolor Amethyst or Gardner Street Green might be more your style. What if you hate florals? The stately Embassy or Independence patterns could inject some masculine, New England-style stateliness into your dining experience. On the other hand, you might prefer the whimsical black, blue or green polka dots of the Circ series, if you’re feeling playful and modern. Those looking for classic patterns to stand the test of time can choose from elegant, straightforward options like Tuxedo Platinum and Marchesa. Old school flare can be found in the intricate cobalt, gold and platinum design of Vintage Jewel, but also in the fine lines of the detailed Republic pattern.

Beyond the aforementioned fine dining patterns, there are also seasonal fine dining patterns, perfect for use during holidays and more. The Chirp pattern features cheery birds and bright colors evocative of a lovely spring afternoon. What better plates to serve an Easter or May Day brunch on? The Merry Berry red and white dinnerware is a perfect fit for any Christmas celebration, while the well-loved Autumn pattern, a floral that originated in 1918, is Thanksgiving-ready. The patterns don’t end with fine china or seasonal patterns, either. Lenox also offers a great selection of casual dining patterns. These everyday dishes are anything but ordinary, and range from the funky Gwinnett Lane pattern to the spunky Market Street series. Whether you want Bissell Cove dishes for your beach house or Aspen Ridge pieces for your woodland home, the casual dining options allow you to dine in style, even on the nights when there isn’t a special occasion to celebrate. Combine those options with the fine dining and holiday offerings from Lenox, and you’ll always have the right china on hand, in patterns you’re sure to love for years.
