Translucent porcelain, gold wheat, and a ruffled collar that makes the whole set feel like something saved for special occasions — and then actually used.
George Lefton, known as The China King, didn't manufacture his pieces — he curated them, holding his Japanese makers to exacting standards that collectors still seek out today. This early Wheat pattern set, dated by its backstamp to 1949–1955, is among the most ornate of the three Wheat variations Lefton produced. The sugar bowl's swirled body, ruffled collar, and gold-accented handles are a study in restrained elegance; the creamer mirrors the motif with matching wheat stalks and swirled form. Stamped "Lefton China, Hand Painted, Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." with pattern number 20/83.
A beautiful hostess or bridal shower gift, and a lovely find for the Lefton collector. We also carry pattern #20595 — browse our shop to compare. Hand wash recommended.
