MCM streamlined Kenilworth beauty whiteware! In the fall of 1955 a special line of buffet ware was created for Jack Kleinman, a distributor of silverware, glassware, and giftware out of New York. The new shape, Kenilworth, was made in the same oven proof body as Epicure. Four glazes were used: white and pink from Epicure and black and turquoise from Charm House. Most of the Kenilworth pieces were made with brass fittings which served as decorative accents to the bases and lids of hollowware.
In 1957, four items were added to the Kenilworth line: coffee server, sugar, creamer, and an ice bucket. Pieces were picked up from other lines as needed such as Epicure and Charm House. Some Kenilworth orders include the fluted ashtray.
There are at least three different backstamps found on Kenilworth: the coat of arms mark, the simple "Kenilworth USA" backstamp, and a "Made In USA" mark. None of the markings mention Homer Laughlin.
Condition: Overall very good vintage preowned condition. No chips or cracks or crazing on the ceramic portions. The original brass fittings on the pieces have some tarnishing and the creamer and carafe pieces have a break in the fitting from age - still attached, noted for accuracy. Lids on the carafe and sugar are in excellent condition. Glaze is shiny and bright on all pieces! Some tarnishing on the brass fittings, especially on one side of the tray. The backside of the tray has some residue glue - likely original, but possibly added at some point - does not distract, all noted for accuracy. Overall pieces are very clean, glaze is shiny. May have small factory imperfections such as glaze pops, glaze misses, sand bumps, etc. Little to no issues on these pieces. Great condition for this rare complete set. See all photos.
Note: The size of the tray is over 15" across in diameter - the shipping on this set will be higher than other items because of the sheer size of the tray - we want to make sure it gets to you intact so will need to use a big box with lots of padding to ship it all!
