{"product_id":"lenox-oval-serving-bowl-ivory-porcelain-with-gold-tone-rim-1960","title":"Lenox Oval Serving Bowl, Ivory Porcelain with Gold-Tone Rim, 1960","description":"\u003cp\u003eLenox oval serving bowl in glazed ivory porcelain, with an elongated, boat-shaped profile and a fine gold-tone line along the rim. Seen from above, the bowl tapers gently toward both ends. In profile, the sides sweep upward from a small circular foot, lifting the ends away from the table. The metallic line follows that rise and fall, making the silhouette as much a part of the decoration as the glaze itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interior is smooth and open, giving the warm ivory porcelain room to show its color. From across the table, the rim reads as a single fine stroke. Up close, the foot and the changing curve of the sides reveal how carefully the bowl was shaped. Its character comes from that relationship between a broad, shallow interior and a narrow point of support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLenox traces its origins to the Ceramic Art Company, founded in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1889 by Walter Scott Lenox and Jonathan Coxon Sr. The workshop began by making art porcelain and took the Lenox name in 1906. In 1918, it produced the official White House dinner service for Woodrow Wilson, the first such service made by an American china manufacturer. Ivory china became one of the company’s signatures. In this bowl, that familiar porcelain takes a particularly spare form, with a narrow metallic edge following the curve of the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long oval is well suited to a row of figs, a handful of dates, or a small arrangement of fruit. It can sit among round plates to introduce a different line to the table, or stand on its own on a sideboard, where the raised ends are especially visible. For a Lenox collector, it shows how much variety the maker achieved within its familiar palette of ivory and metallic trim, simply by changing the proportions of a serving object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffered as one individual bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003eW 16 in × D 5 in × H 2.5 in\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regiment of Love","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51534776860911,"sku":"LU10969253076172","price":407.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/0613\/7327\/files\/IMG_3830_bg_processed.jpg?v=1794665662","url":"https:\/\/regimentoflove.com\/products\/lenox-oval-serving-bowl-ivory-porcelain-with-gold-tone-rim-1960","provider":"Regiment of Love","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
