Presenting
a highly significant and exquisite piece of American porcelain, we introduce an
important Lenox porcelain cup encased in a silver holder that underwent assay
in Birmingham, UK. This remarkable item was specially commissioned for export,
highlighting its unique and prestigious status. Crafted circa 1908, this cup
exemplifies the exceptional quality and craftsmanship associated with Lenox
porcelain.
The fine
porcelain cup itself is a testament to the artistry and attention to detail
that Lenox is renowned for. Adorned with an elegant cream ground, the cup
serves as a canvas for a captivating array of decorative elements. The
intricate design features a gold band embellished with raised foliage,
gracefully winding around the cup's circumference. This ornate foliage motif
adds a touch of opulence and natural beauty to the piece.
Enhancing
the cup's allure, exquisite turquoise jewels are tastefully incorporated into
the design. These jewelled enamels are meticulously placed, adding vibrant
splashes of colour that contrast beautifully against the cream backdrop. The
turquoise jewels not only enhance the visual appeal of the cup but also
contribute to its luxurious and lavish aesthetic.
To
further elevate the cup's elegance, it is encased in an intricate silver
holder, which underwent the rigorous assay process in Birmingham, UK, being fully
hallmarked and stamped A2959, Sterling and assay stamps for Birmingham and
import marks. This silver holder serves as a protective and decorative frame,
showcasing the cup with an air of refinement and sophistication. The holder's
intricate design, likely reflecting the artistic style of the period, enhances
the overall aesthetic value of the piece.
Commissioned
as an export piece, this Lenox porcelain cup holds both artistic and historical
significance. It represents a time when American porcelain manufacturers sought
international recognition for their exquisite craftsmanship. The collaboration
between Lenox and the Birmingham assay office underscores the global appeal and
recognition of American artistry during the early 20th century.
This
important Lenox porcelain cup in a silver holder, adorned with turquoise jewels
and a gold band featuring raised foliage on a cream ground, is a true
collector's item. It encapsulates the beauty, craftsmanship, and international
reach of American porcelain in the early 1900s, making it a valuable addition
to any collection of fine art and decorative objects.
