Lenox Rutledge 13.5 Inch Oval Serving Platter, Ivory Bone China, Floral Gold Trim, Made in USA

This Lenox Rutledge oval serving platter is an American-made bone china piece, an early-production example made between 1939 and 1953, measuring 13.5 inches long by 10 inches wide.

The ivory finish, colorful floral decorations, and gold trim are well preserved, with no chips or cracks and a clean surface.

Lenox introduced the Rutledge pattern in 1939, decorating its ivory china with small multicolored flowers and gold accents.
