White House Decorative Arts in the 1910s

This tea and coffee set, featuring a coffeepot, a sugarbowl, and a teapot, was made by Lenox China of Trenton, New Jersey, in 1911. The silver overlay is engraved with a "T" and the years 1886-1911. A guest at President William H. Taft and First Lady Helen Taft's 25th wedding anniversary garden party presented the set to the first couple as a gift commemorating the occasion.
