• Condition:
The water pitcher has a tiny (less then 1/16") fleabite on the spout. The teapot has tight hairline that doesn't go all the way through the porcelain which can barely be seen. The other pieces are free of chips, cracks, crazing and fleabites, including the underside of the lids. Only the interior of the butter dish has a few minor marks from use, the balance have no notable marks or scratches. There is slight shelf wear on the bottoms as expected. The bottoms of all the pieces, except the saucer and butter dish, are marked with Lenox's "L" in a circle with a palette and "Belleek" below in green. The mark was used from 1906 to 1926. We've been unable to attribute this to a specific line (railroadiana is not our specialty).
