According to Margaret Klapthor's book "Official White House China", these pieces of French porcelain were chosen to be used for color samples by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy as she considered a proposed new state china service. Unfortunately, today in 1963, she and President Kennedy boarded a plane for that fateful trip to Dallas.
The pieces shown are from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Set Momjian.

I will always look up to Jackie Kennedy. She was SUCH a style icon and the breath of fresh air into the White House at that time.
