Backstairs: 'Demo' China at Table
By DAYTON MOORE
United Press International
Washington (LTD Back
stairs at the White House:
Guests of President and
Mrs. Eisenhower eat from
"Democratic" china at official
dinners and luncheons at the
White House.
Ths cups, platters and
plates were added to the
White House collection by for
mer President Truman and
the late Franklin D. Roosevelt
So far, the Eisenhowers
have added only one piece to
the collection a Castleton
service plate of raised medal
lion pattern in pure coin gold.
Mrs. Eisenhower has taken
a personal hand in rearrang
ing the china display in a spe
cial room on the ground floor.
Last year, at Mrs. Mamie
Eisenhower's direction, the
room was rearranged with
several additions and reclassi
fications. representative pieces of
china, crystal and silver dat
ing back to George Washing
ton are arranged against a
lighted, dark blue background
in chronological order. They
are documented historically,
with some former errors cor
rected on the basis of bills of
sales found in recent years.
George Washington's ad
ministration is represented by
a gold and white gravy boat
of the state dinner service.
The first president ordered it
from France.
There also is a sugar bowl,
cup, saucer and tea pot cover
from "the Martha Washing
ton state china." It has a
chain link border with names
of the Union's first 15 states.
The most impressive piece
is the Dolly Madison punch
bowl of elaborately decorated
French porcelain about 30
inches high. A White House
listing says it is "believed, to
be the oldest piece of china
having remained in continu
ous executive possession since
its purchase."
Five presidents Andrew
Johnson, William Howard
Taft, Warren G. Harding, Cal
vin Coolidge and Herbert
Hoover are not represented
in the china collection. They
didn't buy any state china
during their terms in office.
But to round out the collec
tion efforts are being made to
get family pieces they used
while in the White House.
Lincoln's administration is
represented by pieces from
one family and two state ser
vices. Included are pieces
used by the Civil War presi
dent at his summer White
House at the U. S. Soldiers'
Home.
Woodrow Wilson added the
first White Housejtate dinner
service of American manufac
ture a Lenox set decorated
in deep blue and gold, each
piece bears the personal seal
of the President. The set also
was used by Harding, Cool
idge and Hoover.
A recent addition to the
china room display is a set of
first lady plates represented
by the Royal Berlin factory as
a tribute to Mrs. Eisenhower,
They are decorated with the
portraits of 25 first ladies be
tween 1789 and 1921, framed
by a wide gold border.
Mrs. Benjamin Harrison
and Franklin D. Roosevelt de
signed White House china
Mrs. Harrison's has a golden
cornstalk and flower edge de
sign. Roosevelt's incorporates
the three feathers and roses
of his family crest.
