Description
Abraham Lincoln: White House China Dinner Plate. 9 1/4" dinner plate in the Solferino pattern, as used in the Lincoln White House. These were ordered by Mrs. Lincoln from E. V.

The Grant and Arthur sets were decorated in France by Haviland & Company and are so marked. The pieces used during the Lincoln administration and the Johnson reorder were not marked, matching this one. The dinner plate is shown as illustration #28 in Klapthor's standard reference book "Official White House China." Please see the very rare matching soup bowl from this service, also appearing in this sale.Condition: Minor rubbing to the gold band at interior perimeter surrounding the eagle and shield design. Yellow sticker remnant on the base which can be removed easily, otherwise displaying in excellent original condition.
