Take a Stroll Down Memory Lane with These Past Presidential China Collections. 

Although White House china has been around since Monroe's presidency, hand-picking the sets has been a tradition for first ladies since Mary Todd Lincoln.

While some settings are more versatile than others, each represents the first family's style, though not every presidential administration selected a new set of china.

The prized dishes are housed in the White House China Room, and older collections are held in the president’s dining room.
