The 10.5 inch State Charger Plate: Spectacular Lenox "Charger" plate from Jimmy Carter's 1980 White House, State Service China. Evoking the Truman design, the striking white service plate measures 10.5? in diameter, and features a huge presidential coat of arms at center, with a very wide celadon green border edged by gilt patterned with stars and stripes.

The well-known White House China collector, Set Momjian, led the private fundraising for the project. Although the beautiful China is marked in gold--"The White House - 1980", "President Jimmy Carter" and the Lenox "L" (surrounded by laurel leaves) are all acceptable.
