First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln made great efforts to provide fashionable and impressive dining experiences at the White House. She bought huge quantities of specially-designed china in 1861, and added to the service when Lincoln was re-elected. E.V. Haughwout and Co. of New York meticulously decorated each of the French-made china blanks.
