Multiple independent sources (Vogue, Country & Town House, Chowhound, Good Housekeeping, Tocuro, The Pioneer Woman) state the Lenox Spice Village was first released in 1989, and the Lenox Corporation's own page refers to its 'original 1989 collection.' The claim is a faithful extraction of the passage's 'calling back to the originals from 1989,' and no source contradicts the 1989 date.

An ad makes this claim. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

Supports. Country & Town House and Chowhound both state the collection first appeared or was originally released in 1989, later discontinued in 1993.[2][3]

Supports. Lenox's own product page refers to 'our original 1989 collection,' corroborating the original release year from the manufacturer.[4]

Context. The claim's wording matches the passage's reference to 'the originals from 1989'; the passage is the claimant's own promotional copy and is used only to resolve the referent, not as corroboration.
