Obama State Service Dessert Cup

This color photograph by Matthew D'Agostino is of a dessert cup that was created in 2015 by Pickard China, and was among a set of the last tableware to be seen and used during state service. In accordance with tradition, the dish bears the Presidential Coat of Arms. Additionally, the trim of the cup demonstrates the shift from primary colors used more recently in State Dinners to the new selection of a fluted Kailua Blue, a unique color chosen by First Lady Michelle Obama to represent the blue waters of Hawaii, President Barack Obama's home state.
