Millard Fillmore Arrives from Woodmere

Woodmere's newest additon to it's White House Collection of presidential china reproductions - the china of President and Mrs. Millard Fillmore - is off and running. Just in time for the holidays, the green bordered china with a center motif of a bird set in a floral bouquet is thought to probably family china brought with the Fillmores. With the green border encased in gold, the center design of this china is colorful and perfect to offset the gray, dreary Buffalo winters which the Fillmores had become accustomed to.

Millard Fillmore was rushed into residency at The White House because of the sudden death of President Zachary Taylor and, therefore, maintained a unostentatious and low-key manner of entertaining. Most levees and dinner parties during Fillmore's administration were kept smaller in size, with Fillmore's daughter Mary Abigail often serving as hostess.
