"It is my will and desire that Lenox, Incorporated shall at all times manufacture the highest possible grades of porcelain, that the standard of excellence already attained shall ever be advanced..."

- Walter Scott Lenox

Since 1889, Lenox has created gifts, tableware, and collectibles for U.S. presidents, dignitaries - and families like yours across America. In fact, Lenox was the first American china to be used in the White House .

"We are dependent upon foreign factories for the very dishes from which the Chief Executive of the United States must eat," thundered President Theodore Roosevelt in exasperation at the lack of quality American china in the early 20th century. Even though Congress had decreed in 1826 that all furnishings purchased for the White House be manufactured in the United States, no president had ever deemed domestic porcelain worthy of the State Dining Room. Little wonder. Until the Roosevelt administration, no American pottery had dared compete with the prestigious porcelains imported from China, England, and France. Consequently, first families from the Washingtons to the Tafts dined and entertained using tablewares, tea sets, and dessert services that had been produced abroad, even if the designs had been developed or the decoration applied in the United States.

Walter Scott Lenox changed that. In his determination to devise the perfect porcelain, the ambitious potter created wares that were indeed fit for presidents, and Lenox became the first American china to be used in the White House. Between 1918 and the present, five presidents have commissioned Lenox to issue new state services, each reflecting both period tastes and the timeless beauty of Lenox's renowned ivory china.
