Lenox was founded in 1889 by Walter Scott Lenox, who started the company in Trenton, New Jersey. Initially Lenox focused on producing fine china and porcelain dinnerware and then it quickly gained a reputation for high-quality craftsmanship and elegant designs. Over the years, the brand has expanded its offerings to include a wide range of products. Lenox is particularly recognized for its American-made products and has become a staple in many households.
