Lefton Figurines

The Lefton Company was founded in 1941 by Hungarian immigrant George Lefton who arrived in Chicago in 1939 with a business vision and passion for collecting fine porcelain. Although his background lay in marketing and designing specialty clothing, Lefton embarked on a career change with a ceramics business plan.

In 1945, Lefton was among the first to travel to Occupied Japan to seal an importing agreement. The first Lefton china product with a "Made In Occupied Japan" understamp reached Americans in 1946. Today the Lefton Company imports over 500 item SKUs annually which can be found in over 10,000 retail shops nationwide. Many of the vintage collectibles you find at antiques stores and estate sales are ceramic Lefton collectibles.
