The Piece
A refined stack of Lenox “Laurent” bread & butter plates in classic ivory bone china, finished by hand with a brilliant 24-karat gold rim. The faces feature an elegant radiating embossed swirl that pulls light to the edge, giving these small plates a surprisingly luxe presence. Minimalist, warm, and unmistakably mid-century Lenox—perfect for pastries, fruit, or layered display.
Design & Construction
→ Form & Style:
Round, low-profile plates with a softly scalloped rim and embossed sunburst/swirl field terminating at a luminous gold band. Clean and modern, designed to mix seamlessly with plain ivory or other Lenox gold-band patterns.
→ Material:
Lenox ivory bone china—light yet durable and slightly translucent—hand-decorated with 24-karat gold at the rim (not microwave-safe).
→ Mark:
Underside printed in gold with the Lenox laurel-wreath “L” and “Made in U.S.A.” Several retain the original silver foil sticker reading “Hand Decorated with 24-K Gold.” Backstamp dates align with mid-century U.S. production.
Dimensions (approx.)
Diameter: 6¼"
Height: ¾"
(Hand-finished pieces may vary slightly.)
History & Provenance
Founded in 1889 in Trenton, New Jersey, Lenox became America’s best-known maker of fine bone china and formal White House services. Introduced in the mid-20th century, Laurent distilled Lenox’s aesthetic to its essentials—creamy ivory, quiet texture, and real gold—suited to the streamlined elegance of post-war American entertaining.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. Bright glaze, crisp embossing, and continuous gold with only minimal, age-appropriate surface wear; no chips, cracks, or repairs observed. Foil stickers present on some pieces.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
