Retro (1970s–1990s) Bone China, Gilt Excellent
HDRH-VR-0037
Lenox has been America's answer to the great European porcelain houses since 1889, when a Trenton, New Jersey firm set out to prove this country could make china worthy of the White House table — and did. This little Rose Manor dish carries that pedigree at a scale you can actually use. Pink rosebuds trail across an ivory china body on slender green branches, and the scalloped, fluted rim wears a band of hand-applied 24k gold. Set it on a dresser for rings and earrings, fill it with olives at the table, or let it hold a handful of good chocolates. It knows how to make an ordinary moment feel considered.
  • Maker & era: Lenox, Rose Manor pattern, produced 1986–2000 (gold circled-O backstamp)
  • Form: Small round bowl, wavy scalloped edge
  • Size: 5.5" diameter x 2" deep
  • Materials: Ivory bone china with 24k gold trim
  • Pattern: Pink rosebuds and green leaves across the well and rim
  • Uses: Candy, nuts, olives, or a catch-all for jewelry
Condition: Excellent throughout — the ivory glaze is clean and glossy, the gold rim bright and unworn, with no chips, cracks, crazing, or repairs. A piece that was clearly kept well.

Lenox Rose Manor Scalloped Candy Dish — 5.5" Ivory China with 24k Gold Trim

Circa 1986–2000

American Fine China


Lenox is the great American porcelain story. Founded in Trenton, New Jersey in 1889, it set out to prove the United States could produce china to stand beside Limoges and Meissen — and succeeded so thoroughly that it became the first American china chosen for White House state service. A small Lenox piece carries that pedigree at an approachable scale. This bowl wears the Rose Manor pattern, made between 1986 and 2000: pink rosebuds trailing on slender branches across an ivory china body, scattered green leaves, and a scalloped, fluted rim banded in hand-applied 24k gold. The gold circled-O backstamp dates it to Lenox's modern giftware era.

It came to us from an estate near Woodbridge, Virginia — one of those households that clearly knew how to keep fine things, and did. The glaze is clean, the gold bright, the little dish unmarked by hard use. At five and a half inches across, it is the useful size: candy or nuts at the table, olives beside a drink, or a quiet catch-all on the dresser for rings and earrings at the end of the day. Lenox on the same shelf as the European houses — American-made, and made to last.

Materials Ivory Lenox bone china with hand-applied 24k gold trim on a scalloped, fluted rim; pink rosebud decoration.
Care Hand wash only in warm water with mild soap. The 24k gold trim is not microwave- or dishwasher-safe. Dry with a soft cloth and avoid abrasives to keep the gilt bright.

Every so often a small thing carries a big name gracefully. Lenox is one of the great American porcelain stories — founded in Trenton, New Jersey in 1889, the house that finally proved this country could turn out china to rival Limoges and Meissen. It became the first American china chosen for White House state service, which is no small thing when you consider the company it was keeping. Most of us won't set a state dinner. A small Lenox piece lets you keep a bit of that pedigree on the shelf anyway. This is the Rose Manor pattern, made between 1986 and 2000. The ivory china body carries delicate pink rosebuds on slim branches, with green leaves scattered across the well and up onto the rim. The edge is scalloped and fluted — a little wavy, a little formal — and finished with a band of hand-applied 24k gold. It's the kind of detailing that reads as fussy in a catalog photo and turns out, in the hand, to be exactly right. At 5.5 inches across and 2 inches deep, it's the useful size: candy, nuts, olives at the table, or a quiet spot on the dresser for rings and earrings at the end of the day. (The gold trim means this one stays out of the microwave — a hand wash keeps that rim bright for another few decades.) It came to us from an estate near Woodbridge, Virginia — one of those households that clearly knew how to keep fine things, and did. You can tell the moment you pick it up. Nothing about it was used hard or stored carelessly.
