A f t e r «"’ o r i n i t i I o l i t i m i n o t l o o .
Custom at the \Vhite House de
mands that no dish shall appear on
the table (especially on state occa­
sions) that Is not absolutely without
defect. Not merely a chip, but the
slightest scratch ln the gliding on the
edge of » plate or cup, or the almost
imperceptible wearing of a color de­
sign. Is sufficient to condemn the piece.
It Is put aside, and by-and-by, when a
number of such "rejects" have accu­
mulated, they are Inspected by the
steward (who is official custodial, of
all executive properties), and sent off
to auction, writes Rene Bach.
Under the law-, the official china
cannot be given away under any clr-
cuinstances, and can never be sold ex­
cept in the manner described, after
formal
condemnation.
Condemned
White House china always brings very
high prices at the auction sales—espe­
cially pieces of the Lincoln. Grant and
Hayes sets. Even a badly cracked
Lincoln cup and saucer, or damaged
egg cup. may fetch *15 or $20. On
the other hand, a Franklin Pierce
plate in good condition Is not likely to
command more than $6. Washington
and Jefferson crockery Is always sala­
ble at fancy prices; but none of It
comes from the White House, where
only a few specimens remain and are
kept on exhibition In the cabinets ln
the basement.
The first and original executive
chlnaware was Imported front England
by George Washington — who, of
course, never occupied the White
House. Nearly all of It has disappear­
ed, only a few pieces still existing ln
the hands of collectors. But even more
interesting, perhaps, are the rare rem­
nants of the crockery set (likewise of
British manufacture) Intended for the
Confederate executive mansion
at
Richmond, but which, It Is understood,
Jefferson Davis never had an oppor­
tunity to use. It was captured, confis­
cated. and scattered, only an occasion­
al fragment ot It being to-day discov­
erable ln the cabinets of curio lovers.
At the time when (ln 1902) the pur­
chase of a complete new service of
queensware was contemplated by Mr.
Roosevelt, a careful Inventory was
made of all the china In the White
Hortse. It was found to comprise 143
pieces of the Lincoln set. 125 pieces of
the Grant set, 371 pieces of the Hayes
set. 30 pieces of the Arthur set, 1,745
pieces of the Cleveland set. 459 pieces
of the Harrison set, and 321 pieces of
the McKinley set.
The Roosevelt china, which was or­
dered from England <$23.0UU being
paid for It), Is white and gold, and,
as might be Imagined, exceedingly
handsome. Each plate and platter baa
the coat-of-a.ma of the United States,
ln gilt, ln the border. This set orig­
inally comprised 3,000 pieces. Includ­
ing cups, saucers, etc., and Is to-day
almost Intact, great care having been
taken of It. so that very few of tbe
pieces are broken. Hence It Is exceed­
ingly unlikely that the Tafts will be
obliged to buy any more crockery for
the White House.
