White House Holiday China

In the China Room, the Truman China is set to illustrate the joy of families sitting down to enjoy a holiday dinner. The table is also set with select pieces used by previous Presidents and First Ladies for formal entertaining—including a candlestick dating back to 1791. The other pieces used to decorate the table are the Clinton China service plate, the Johnson China center bowl, the Kennedy glassware, one brass candlestick from the Reagan administration, and some gilded silver candlesticks from the Eisenhower administration. This gallery showcases the selected China pieces for the 2012 White House holidays.
