1876 Centennial Exposition Abraham Lincoln Plate and Teacup SET:
$2050.00

Very Nice Set of Administration "Abraham Lincoln" porcelain plate 8 1/2" and Teacup. They were made in 1876 by Haviland Limoges for sale to the public at the Centennial Exposition. They are mentioned in the White House China books. Haviland had made the original service ordered by Mary Todd Lincoln. The 1876 Expo pieces were fine porcelain copies made by Haviland and were for sale at the Expo and were as close as you could get to an example of the infamousLincoln White House sets in that era. Even though technically a copy, it was the 1st of it'skind (made only 16 years after the originals) and they are fairly rare in today's market and not to be confused with the Franklin Mint and other modern companies and organizations that have made their own limited editions copies (which are not rare). They're so scarce that it may indeed be rarer than the originals made for the Lincoln White House. The plate for sale and pictured above is in decent shape with a slight repair apparent on the right side. The Teacup has no damage or repairs. If you have any questions I'm happy to help.
