"Tiffany & Co., Blair House" China

Blair House is the President's guest House in Washington, D.C.  The U.S. Government purchased Blair House in 1942 at the request of Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Prior to the purchase of Blair House, guests of the President usually spent one night in the White House followed by a hotel or embassy for the remainder of their visit.  In 1988, Tiffany designed and created a range of pieces for Blair House including 100 place settings of fine china to coincide with the completion of a major restoration project.  For a limited time, the "Blair House" pattern was offered by Tiffany in its' retail stores.  The design is very pretty and fresh, and definitely timeless.  This set consists of four place settings and serving pieces.  Each place setting is made up of a dinner plate, luncheon plate, bread and butter plate, and a cup and saucer.  There are six additional serving pieces; 2 large oval platters, 1 oval vegetable bowl, 1 coffee pot and a cream and sugar.  American, c. 1980's  SOLD
