"Millard Fillmore"

Porcelain

Dessert Plate, $44.00; Teacup & Saucer, $59.00

Thrust into The White House unexpectedly, some said at the time that Millard Fillmore "looks more of a President than Taylor". The handsome Fillmore and his wife Abigail took up residence in The White House in a quiet, unostentatious manner, bringing many of their family belongings with them. This beautiful green-bordered design is thought to be part of the Fillmore family china.

Highlighted by a brightly painted bird in a fine floral bouquet, this design's green border is encased in gold all of which is hand decorated.
