George Zoltan Lefton 1906-1996, of Chicago, was known as The China King for his work in porcelain. He arrived in the United States from Hungary in 1939 and founded the Lefton Company in 1941. Over the years the Lefton Company has produced numerous quality products that are highly sought after by collectors. At one time Lefton products were sold in over 10,000 shops in the United States, and given their popularity it seems unlikely that one could go very far in any antique mall in the country without finding a piece of Lefton china or a Lefton figurine.
The Lefton Company was sold shortly after Mr. Lefton's passing in 2001, after 60 years of producing some of America's most popular collectibles.
I have carefully inspected the Lefton Mockingbird sculpture and find it to be in excellent condition without chips, cracks, crazing, discolorations or repairs. Itis clean and bright and apppears Band New!
