The Cinderella Collection by Lenox-Enchanted Dream,1999

Lenox China is a brand of fine porcelain that has been around for over 100 years. This American-made fine China is the sole manufacturer of "bone China" in the USA still to this day.
Walter Scott Lenox and his partner, Jonathan Coxon Sr., started a porcelain making business called Ceramic Art Company back in 1889, in Trenton, New Jersey. Walter Scott Lenox took full ownership of the company in 1894 and renamed it Lenox, Inc. The company started out as more of an art studio than a factory. Instead of a full line of ceramics, Lenox produced one-of-kind artistic ceramic pieces. Shops specializing in high quality ceramic pottery carried Lenox products. These products were displayed in the Smithsonian Institution in 1897.
In the early 20th century, separate dining rooms and hostess parties became the trendy thing to do. Lenox became popular when they started producing custom designed, elaborate dining plates. Famous artists of the time were hired to design the plates. After the success of the plates, Lenox started to produce complete dinnerware sets.
Chief designer at Lenox, Frank Holmes, contributed greatly to Lenox's brand and popularity by winning several awards, including the 1927 Craftsmanship Metal of the American Institute of Architects and the silver medal of the American Designers Institute in 1943. In 1928, the National Museum of Ceramics in Sèvres, France started to display 34 pieces of Lenox porcelain, (including designs by Frank Holmes) which was the only US-made porcelain to ever receive this honor.
Lenox was the first American China to be used in the White House. In 1918, First Lady Edith Wilson, who preferred American-made China, picked Lenox China after seeing it in a local store in Washington, DC. The pattern she selected was designed by Frank Holmes. Each of the 1700 pieces featured the seal of the president raised in gold in the middle, surrounded by a bright ivory body with two bands of matte gold encrusted with stars, stripes, and other designs. This pattern was also used by the Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, and Herbert Hoover administrations. Lenox China continues to be used in the White House.
From 1998 to 2003, Lenox was commissioned by the Walt Disney Company to make a showcase collection of figurines. The figurines were made in the design of their franchises most beloved and notable characters. The Cinderella Collection of that showcase consisted of approximately 20 individual pieces related to the popular "princess" and her story. Only two-three designs of a "solo" of Cinderella were produced. One with an all-white ball gown and one with a lavender top. This Lenox Cinderella is with the rare blue and with a 24kt gold trimmed dress hem.
