Its luminous porcelain body is enveloped by an extensive network of silver foliage, with sinuous stems and dramatically unfurling leaves flowing seamlessly across the vessel, spout and handle. Finely engraved details lend texture and dimension to the applied silver, while the elegant ovoid form and sweeping handle heighten the organic quality of the decoration. The result is a striking union of porcelain and precious metal in which ornament and form become one continuous composition. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Founded in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1889, Lenox grew from its origins as an art-porcelain studio to become one of America's foremost manufacturers of luxury china. The present teapot dates to this formative period, when the firm's craftsmen embraced the fashionable flowing lines and naturalistic motifs of Art Nouveau. Lenox's importance to American decorative arts is reflected both in its representation in major museum collections and its later role supplying porcelain for the White House. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Marked \"Lenox\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 7 1\/2\" high x 8\" wide x 4\" deep","brand":"M.S.
