Very scarce china plate from the Thomas Jefferson White House. Blue plate with gilt accents features a shallow bowl with gilt ''J'' at center, inside a shield bearing a knight's head decoration. Plate measures 6.125'' in diameter. Jefferson's White House china is very scarce, attributed to both the destruction of the White House during the War of 1812, and also his heirs selling personal belongings after his death to pay debt. Some small chips along rim, and one slightly larger one at 2:00 position, overall very good condition.
