POLL: Pick the Best White House China

Chasten B was famously teased for having specific tastes on the presidential dishware, but what say the rest of you tipsy gays?

Not every first family orders china (which is funded by donated funds, not tax dollars), but it's an important part of entertaining at dinners that can host hundreds of people. Other than room renovations and bombing some barefoot country, presidential dishware is one of the best ways a president and first lady can leave a mark on the presidency.

I prefer the Obama service, but I also like Nancy Reagan's boldness. Of course it's red, but it still holds up 30+ years later!

Why did you leave out Truman specifically?

Sorry I meant "Why did you leave out Wilson specifically?"

Most are fine, but the Johnson china service design is stunning. They have a late 1800s kind of warmth and are classic Americana.

I think the Truman service is lovely too.

I'm sure I would have chosen Jackie's but the order was never placed.

I love Johnson china. And the Reagan china is just so over the top 1980s-I can’t help but love it, the cocksucker (or rather, her cocksucking decorator) had good taste.

Johnson

Polk, then Johnson, the Lincoln is nice too

I can’t actually see the blue trim in the Obama plates- if I could, then definitely, the blue would be a nice balance to the gold. As it stands, I’m partial to the GWB ones, the design is interesting enough to not be gaudy (looking at you, Clinton) but not just a basic gold band (Obama)

We need two threads on this?

It's giving major grandmother vibes, but I like the LBJ China the best.

Also,, no surprise that Melania never finished her China design. LAZIEST FIRST LADY EVER!

The Truman and Johnson designs appeal to me the most.

Does everyone remember the shit storm over Nancy Reagan spending so much on her WH china?

by Anonymousreply 14September 3, 2025 5:14 AM

This is the Trump service.

Truman by a mile.

Eleanor Roosevelt's is the most tasteful. I like the Truman china too.
