Decanter, Glass, and Fingerbowl

This colored glassware, including a decanter, a glass, and a finger bowl, was likely made in England between 1820 and 1840. The glass and finger bowl were owned by President James Polk and First Lady Sarah Childress Polk. The decanter was given to the White House as a gift in 1907 by a woman whose mother purchased it at a White House sale in the 19th century.
