Plate (Dinner plate)
Tressemannes and Vogt (Limoges), W. M. Beveridge
1898
Description
This dinner plate matches the pattern of a state dinner service, the first portion of which was purchased in 1892 during the Benjamin Harrison administration. The service was acquired from M. W. Beveridge of Washington, DC. Made by Tressemannes & Vogt of Limoges, portions of the service were reordered in 1898 and1899. In 1900 further peices were ordered by the McKinley administration and, in 1908, by the Theodore Roosevelt administration. (See Klapthor, White House China, p. 128.) It is unclear whether the 1898 dated Winterthur plate is from the original service or was made in imitation of it for a wider market.
