Oxford China (Lenox) Special Gold Wedding Band Oval Vegetable Bowl

At least five of them were simply labeled "Special," including this one. Lenox still uses the "Special" designation on certain items, like their Christmas Holly pattern, so it is possible that these decorations were special or limited runs. (I'm sorry that this all seems so sketchy, but Lenox is famously un-forthcoming when it comes to historical information about their product.)

This particular line (labeled "O1" by a major china replacement service) is white glazed china with a simple gold "wedding band" at the rims of the pieces. This minimalist decoration emphasizes the classic lines of the china. It would work equally well in a traditional or modern setting.

For sale here is an oval vegetable bowl (we currently have three, price is per bowl). The bowl is 10" long by 7" wide by 2.25" tall. Condition is near mint; all three bowls show the slightest wear from use on the bottoms. If you have a set of this china and have only used it once a year for the past thirty years, your pieces probably look worse for wear than these bowls do.

Marked in gold on the bottom: "OXFORD / Bone China" followed by the Lenox "L" mark, then "SPECIAL / Made in the U.S.A."

We have a large partial set of this china that we have listed. Please search our site or email up if you are looking for particular pieces.
