Did you know.....Washington State China

.....President Washington paid approximately $340 for 309 pieces of the gold and white Sevres china he purchased from Comte de Mustier! It is believed that this service was originally manufactured for Comte de Mustier in 1788 by the Sevres factory.

Other French factories such as Angouleme, Nast, La Courtille, and the factory of Count d'Artois in Limoges also made some of the pieces in the gold lined Washington/Mustier porcelain.
