Another from Last Night's State Dinner at The White House

This photo from last night's State Dinner shows, indeed, the Eisenhower chargers made by Castleton. With such a large gathering, china from the Esienhower, Clinton, and G.W. Bush adminsitrations had to be used. Whatever place setting you may have had, it was sure to be stylish! (NY Times photo)

Lincoln China....recreated

I know we've posted things on our production before....but I never cease to be amazed at the beautiful recreations that our talented employees produce. We are frequently asked about our production process and we are very proud of the work our associates do.....and we think that having them produced here in America makes a nice difference, too.

Below are the components to a Lincoln plate and above you see our friend Katie applying the decals. From there, the decorated plate is moved to a rack in the kilns and fired, permently fusing the design to the plate itself.

Great Chance to View Presidential China

One of our good friends, Set Momjian and his lovely wife Joan, will be displaying some of their White House China collection at the upcoming Main Line Antiques Show, being held Nov 21-22nd in Wayne, PA.

Certainly the finest private collection of White House China in the country today, this is sure to be a fantastic exhibition.
