Very scarce china platter from the Thomas Jefferson White House. Large blue platter with gilt accents features an oblong shallow bowl with gilt ''J'' at center, inside a shield bearing a knight's head decoration. Platter measures 13'' x 10.5'' x 1.125 high. 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 underside of rim, generally unnoticeable unless platter is turned over. Some rubbing to gilt monogram. Overall in very good plus condition.
