Porcelain and Pottery: Lefton


What's New in the Collector's Showcase of Porcelain and Pottery: Lefton?
The Most Recent Additions to This Category are First!
This is a lovely Lefton figurine from the skilled artisans at Lefton. It is Blue Boy. The bisque figurine was hand painted. He is marked mold # 387 and was released as part of a Limited Edition set. I don't have the girl figurine, Pinky. 


This figurine measures 8" tall. The oval base measures 3" x 2 1/2". 


The bottom is stamp marked with the Lefton Crown, item name, manufacturing plant and mold # and LIMITED EDITION. There is also a red and gold foil label on the bottom. 


The boy figurine is in excellent condition though it could use light dusting and cleaning. It has fine surface scratches consistent with its age, normal use and storage. There is no damage; no chips, cracks, crazing or repairs; though there is a shiny material on the delicate shoe laces of the forward foot I don't see a repair join. Spots are reflections from photography flash and lighting. 

 Lefton Blue Bird w Faux Eye Vase/ Planter, suppose to be rare. It is in excellent condition.  This is a lovely pedestal dish. It has gold line rose decoration in the center of the dish; the rim is sponged gold and there are 2 rows of lattice. The holes of the lattice are very nice to run ribbon through to add decoration. The base also has gold line accent. I don't know the age of this item. 


This porcelain compote is 7" diameter, 4 1/4" high and the bowl is 1 1/2" deep. The 2 1/2" high pedestal has a 3" square base. 


The compote and base are both stamped with the Turquoise color Lefton Registered Trademark used from 1949 - 1959: Lefton China / Hand Painted / Reg. U.S. Pat Off., the item number 1414 in gold. Both also have the red and gold foil label. The pedestal base has a handwritten note: C'mas / Mother / 1959. Please see photos. 


This compote is in very good to excellent used condition for its likely age, though it could use light dusting and cleaning. The compote has fine surface scratches consistent with its age, normal use and storage. There is no damage; no nicks, flea-bites, chips, cracks or repairs. Spots are reflections from photography flash and lighting.  Beautiful vintage vase by Lefton China. This is a Hand Painted vase with the Lefton's Exclusives Japan label on the bottom. 


It is in a creamy pretty pink color with hand painted flowers on two sides of each vase. The flowers are in a relief style. The flowers are Forget-Me-Nots and are pink, turquoise and blue/purple in color. The vase is 5 7/8" in height and about 3" at its widest point.


The vase was made by Lefton in the early 1950's. It has a gorgeous gold speckled border around the middle in a relief style and a gold border around the top rim. The flowers, except for one are in excellent condition (the chipped one is not obvious). Overall, the vase is in excellent condition,  hard to find especially in this condition. The price is for one vase, please see quantity for stock available.

This is a lovely sculptural pink cabbage rose decorated serving plate. The serving plate has a pink and white woven basket handle. This line of dishes produced and sold by Lefton is named Americana, though it was also called 'Pink Rose Line'. The line is discontinued and was only made during the mid- 1950's. The low relief Americana pattern is a large pink rose with green and brown leaves. I do not know the age of this listing. 


This basket handled serving plate is 9 1/2" in diameter. 


The bottom of the plate is stamp marked 939. Please see photos. 


This serving plate is in excellent used condition, though it could use a light dusting and cleaning. There is tape residue which will be removed before shipping.

 This is a cute pair of children figurines. The boy is an artist holding a painter's palette. The girl is carrying a basket of fruit and holding an apple in her hand. Both figurines are made of tinted bisque terracotta-like tan clay and are partially glazed. I saw a third child figurine from the same 8001 series but do not know the Lefton name or how many there may be. I do not know the actual age of this listing.


Both figurines measure about 5 1/2" high.


The bottoms of both are stamp marked 8001 but only the boy figurine still has the intact Lefton red and gold foil label. Please see photos.


These figurines are in excellent used condition for their likely age, though they could use light cleaning. There are some faint scuffs and the boy figurine has dark spot of glaze on the tip of his hair 'bangs' but there are no nicks, flea-bites, chips, crazing, cracks or repairs. Spots are reflections from photography flash and lighting.  This lovely mug is hand painted with delicate tinted yellow roses and green leaves on a muted yellow background. The small mug has a gold line at the rim and accent on the handle. I do not know the actual age of this item.


The mug measures 3" high x 2 7/8" diameter.


The bottom of the mug is stamp marked in gold: Lefton China / (crown logo) / Hand Painted / SL487. Please see photos.


This mug is in excellent condition, though it could use light cleaning. It does not appear to have been used since there are no utensil marks inside of it. There is light wear to the gold around the rim but there is no damage: there are no nicks, cracks, crazing or repairs. Spots are reflections from photography flash and lighting.

This lovely china 50th. Anniversary plate is marked: Lefton China / Hand Painted / #SL3696N and still has the Lefton foil label that is marked: Lefton Trade Mark Exclusives / Japan. 

The Lefton mark can be found on a wide variety of pottery, porcelain, and glass imported into the United States by the George Zoltan Lefton Company. 

The company was founded by this new immigrant from Hungary after he arrived in Chicago, Illinois in 1939 and established the company in 1940. George Lefton had previously worked in the clothing and sportwear industry, but he was a collector of fine porcelain and dreamed of entering that business. George Zoltan Lefton had always admired the quality and workmanship in finer Japanese and oriental porcelain, and after the end of World War II he pursued business relationships in post-war Occupied Japan to export Japanese porcelain to America through his company. George was one of the first American businessmen to enter post-war Japan. 

Lefton made a wide variety of pieces, from kitchenware and utilitarian pieces to purely decorative pieces to be displayed on the living room shelf, the company is still in business today. 

Decorated with gold bells, leaves and ribbon on a white china background. 

In very good + condition without chips, cracks or fleabites it measures 10 3/8 inches in diameter. 

An addition to any Lefton China Collection.
