This matched set features the coveted No. 282 design, comprising a sculptural bud vase and an uncommonly large horizontal fan-shaped trinket dish. Hand-painted in Japan during Lefton's premier post-war era, this set is a definitive example of Hollywood Regency elegance.

Museum-Quality Condition
This set is presented in museum-quality condition, appearing virtually "new-old-stock" despite being over 70 years old.
Pristine Florals: Most significantly, there are absolutely no chips or breaks to the delicate applied porcelain flowers—a condition rarity for this series, as these fine petals are typically found with damage.
Flawless Surface: There is zero missing paint and no thinning of the 22K gold gilt. The porcelain glaze is bright, high-gloss, and free of any "shelf wear," scratches, or crazing.
Structural Integrity: Both pieces are structurally sound with no chips, cracks, or hairline repairs.
Design & Detail
Each piece features a graceful lady's hand with pink manicured nails holding a scalloped porcelain fan. The pieces are adorned with hand-placed three-dimensional roses and forget-me-nots, accented with vibrant 22K gold gilding. Both items bear the authentic Lefton "Crown" hallmark, with the bud vase explicitly stamped with design model number 282.

Dimensions
Trinket Dish (Large Model): 6.25" Width x 4" Depth x 1.75" Height
Bud Vase: 5" Width x 3.25" Depth x 4.5" Height

This is an investment-grade set for the serious Lefton enthusiast or high-end interior designer. Finding the larger-scale 6.25" dish in this flawless, break-free state is an exceptional opportunity. See less
