She can run her fingers over the bumps of bright enamel that form 421 grapes, oranges, pineapples and flower petals on every gold-rimmed dinner plate of a fine old Lenox china pattern called Autumn.

This floor vase, almost 26 inches high, was made around 1900 by Weller and Company. Signed by artist Frank Ferrell, it sold for $10,925 in a recent Treadway/Toomey Galleries sale.

This set of vintage Lenox china in the Tartan Holiday pattern is available at Next To New consignment shop in Lancaster.
