Lenox Carousel Animals
Annual Christmas Carousel Horse


The 1992 Christmas Horse was the first Christmas horse issued by Lenox in the now annual Christmas Carousel horse series. It is sometimes confused with the 1993 Christmas Horse because the date stamp on the underside belly is 1993 (on most issues). This horse was advertised in late 1992 mostly by direct mail to those customers of Lenox who already subscribed to the Lenox Carousel collection. Most of the orders for this horse were actually produced in 1993, thus the 1993 date stamp on most of them. Lenox called it The Christmas Carousel Horse, and since then, it has become an annual tradition.

It's a holiday confection for the eyes.  A carousel charger with a gingerbread flavor, created in sculpture by the artists of Lenox.  Especially for Christmas 2002.
The 2002 Christmas Carousel Horse combines the sweetness of gingerbread treats with the prized artistry of the carousel.  A gingerbread house, complete with pink icing, adorns one side of the saddle, and a cute cookie couple hold hands on the other.  The bridle ruffle and saddle skirt host rows of dancing gingerbread men.  While gumdrops and candy canes flow through the horse's mane and tail.
Sculptured in the classic pose of a carousel charger, The 2002 Christmas Carousel Horse is crafted of white bisque porcelain.  Against this sugary-white background, colors like frosting glow from the sculpture-pink, green, candy cane red and golden brown.  Every hue and shade is applied by hand.  As are touches of 24 karat gold that sparkle on the reins, the jingle bells and the horse's hooves.
The 2002 Christmas Carousel Horse is issued in limited edition.  After December 25, 2002, no more of these exquisitely crafted, hand-painted sculptures will ever be produced.
