China Dessert Plate : Lincoln

This porcelain dessert plate has been authentically re-created from the White House china pattern used during the administration of President Abraham Lincoln. An elegant French design, the Lincoln china combines the American eagle with various decorations in a brilliant color called "solferino". This purple-red hue was invented by the French in 1859 and was very popular among the fashionable hosts of Lincolns' day. A dessert recipe used during the era is included with each purchase.
