STATE CHINA SERVICE
RONALD REAGAN
When she moved into the White House in 1981, First Lady
Nancy Reagan almost immediately began the designing of a
new state china service, the first since the Lyndon B. Johnson
china of 1968. She chose Lenox, the company that had made the
first American state service in 1918 for the Woodrow Wilsons.
Red, her favorite color, was used as the ground color of the
rims of the service plate and dessert place, with gilt cross-
hatching derived from a family service owned by James and
Dolley Madison. Smaller bands of gold-trimmed red were used
to decorate the other pieces of the service. The Presidential
coat of arms in gold was used throughout the service of 221
19-piece place settings.
