No one offers more Holiday inspired dinnerware patterns than Lenox. From their extremely popular Lenox Holiday to Chirp Scarlet to special accent plates featuring snowflakes and Christmas trees, Lenox has a dinnerware pattern for every table.
One thing I like about the
Lenox Christmas and Holiday dinnerware is that, sometimes Lenox just adds a few items to an existing china pattern to make it special for the holidays or they offer a full holiday china pattern.
Lenox did not launch a new Holiday china pattern this year, but I'll share my favorites and let you know about recently retired Lenox Holiday patterns.
Lenox Chirp Scarlet. I you own Lenox Chirp china, you'll love this
Chirp Scarlet with it's strong bold colors and tender details this holiday dinnerware clear states you are celebrating a special dinner. Offers include 4 piece placesettings, plates and bowls.
Lenox has two elegant accent plates that match other Lenox china patterns. These plates include the
Lenox Federal Platinum Snowflake plate and
Lenox Opal Innocence Tree Accent plate. Both plates have simple designs, but politely say Happy Holidays!
Lenox's most famous Holiday plate is
Lenox Holiday. The Lenox Holiday pattern is a design of holly leaves and berries with gold trim.
Lenox Holiday is Lenox's most popular seasonal dinnerware.
However Lenox Holiday isn't the only holiday pattern, there is
Lenox Holiday Gatherings which offers both Berry and Wreath designs is a bolder alternative that still features holly and berries in the design. The Lenox Holiday Tartan design includes a tartan ribbon with colorful fruits, berries, acorns and holly.
Lenox Holiday Platinum was Retired 2011 and had a similar look of Lenox Holiday but with a platinum trim.
Some of the more unique Lenox dinnerware items are in these two collections.
Lenox 12 Days of Christmas which includes whimsical plates, bowls, trays and tableware that celebrates the fun in the holiday classic, 12 Days of Christmas.
Lenox Holiday Illustrations is a casual set of trays, bowls and novelties with Holiday phrases and sayings often shared among friends and family. Often these special dinnerware pieces have limited production runs and sell out quickly.
You would think that would be all of the Christmas patterns, but in Lenox's case you would be wrong as there are three more Winter patterns including Winter Greetings, Winter Meadow and Winter Song.
Lenox Winter Greetings is a holiday themed pattern with holly, red and yellow bows, gold trim and garden birds with the most distinct being the red cardinal. While this pattern works for the Christmas table it also is a favorite seasonal dinnerware that seems perfect for snowy or chilly days from November through March.
Lenox Winter Meadow has lighter tones than Winter Greetings and mixes berries, holly and seasonal flowers. The lighter greens and bold flowers are a statement that there are beautiful things around us year round. The
Winter Meadow collection combines a variety of soft spoken pieces that include holly to the bolder ones that showcase paper white and poinsettia pieces. This allows you to create your own unique table that you define as Winter Meadow.
Lenox Winter Song is another red and white dinnerware pattern while natural elements that include winter branches, berries, winter birds and more. Depending how you layout your table this dinnerware can be casual or formal. Dishes with a strong red border tend to have a formal holiday look and borderless white dishes tend to have a seasonal look, either way the look is colorful and inspiring.
Lenox excels at dinnerware with holly, berry and nature. They offer a wide array of holiday dinnerware patterns to match the casual and formal side of the holidays. Interestingly they don't offer a Christmas Tree pattern and I don't expect they will as it is just not them.
