<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 70276, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Reed and Barton was taken over by Lenox. Lenox was taken over by Dept. 56 several years ago. All Lenox is made overseas except for the dinnerware line which is getting ready to be sent overseas. All Lenox collectables are now made overseas with tiny clear labels saying what country they are made in. As these labels dry out and fall off they only thing that says Lenox. Any pieces of old Lenox say made in USA printed on the piece. Lenox has been so cheapened by all this Asian stuff I strongly tell people buy extra pieces of your dinnerware now while it is still made here. Once it goes overseas it will NOT match and look different. This is what happened to Franciscan Apple and Desert Rose, it was sold off to Europe and now it has been sent overseas. None of it matches anymore. The same thing is going to happen to Lenox. I think the only two companies that are still made here is Homer Laughlin and Picker. Lenox is soon to be gone.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
