Reviews
Authentic reproductions of our 16th President’s White House china, the original service was selected by Mary Todd Lincoln soon after her husband’s inauguration. The American eagle is rimmed by a feather motif inset with the purple-red hue, solferino, invented by the French in 1859. Functional and highly collectible, each piece is painstakingly hand-decorated. Porcelain. Made in Pennsylvania.
3.875"h.

Comments about Reproduction Lincoln China Sugar and Creamer:
The cream and pitcher set are great because they represent the period when Abraham Lincoln was president of the US.

Comments about Reproduction Lincoln China Sugar and Creamer:
Unfortunately, I dropped the creamer right after opening the box and broke the handle. Thank the heavens that it is a clearance item and will be affordable to replace. I also have the tea pot and look forward to many years of pleasure using them daily.

Comments about Reproduction Lincoln China Sugar and Creamer:
The Lincoln reproduction china sugar and creamer make a lovely and very affordable wedding gift. They are simple and stylish, and aren't in themselves identifiable as from a Presidential set, yet the provenance is a nice added touch that makes the gift special. At the same time, they are so affordable that I bought two extra for future gifts to couples I don't know particularly well, but want to offer my best wishes.

Comments about Reproduction Lincoln China Sugar and Creamer:
A very pretty classic sugar and creamer with the added bonus of being a copy of the Lincoln White House chima. I bought one for a bridal shower gift and then got another one for myself. Becuase of its classic design goes well with other china. And is a nice talking point while having coffee/tea and desert.
