The rim of the George W. Bush State China, unveiled Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009, at the White House by Mrs. Laura Bush, shows the two distinctive design elements of the china – a green basket-weave pattern and a historically-inspired gold eagle – throughout the 14-piece place setting.

The rim of the Magnolia Residence China, which was unveiled Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009, by Mrs. Laura Bush at the White House, has a varied and detailed pattern from nature. There are 75 place settings of the service which were purchased by the White House Historical Association through the George W. Bush Redecoration Fund. This new china, which was designed in Virginia and hand painted in Hungary, will be used in the private Residence. White House photo by Shealah Craighead
