There are Lenox platters, and then there are Lenox platters that make you stop mid-sentence to look more closely.
The Rutledge P-303 is the latter. The decoration is hand-applied enamel — tiny flowers in yellow, blue, red, and orange nestled among vibrant green grass, as if scattered across a spring meadow and caught mid-tumble. The 16" oval body is fluted all around the border, creating both a beautiful pleated effect and a practical grip, and finished with a 24-karat gold verge. The ivory bone china body is characteristic of Lenox's American production. In use from 1939 through 2020, this pattern had a longer run than most — and pieces in this condition are worth finding. Hand wash recommended to preserve the enamel and gold.
An elegant gift for the Lenox collector, the formal table enthusiast, or anyone who considers the platter the most important piece on the table.
