English: Sugar bowl and dinner plate purchased as part of a porcelain china dining set by First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln in 1864 and used in the White House in Washington, D.C., in the United States.

By the fall of 1864, the "Solferino" (purple)-bordered china service ordered by the Lincolns in April 1861 was severely depleted. Most of the china had been broken or stolen, and only a few chipped and repaired pieces were left. In late 1864, Mrs. Lincoln ordered a new set of china for the White House. The importer was China Hall, a company owned by James K. Kerr of Philadelphia. Unlike the very expensive, exquisitely decorated 1861 service, the design this time was extremely simple: A white plate, with a buff border edged in gilt lines. This 511-piece set consisted of dining plates, soup plates, dessert plates, ice cream plates, a wide variety of dishes (large and small fish platters, vegetable platters, side dish platters), tureens, sauce boats, pickle dishes, salad bowls, custard cups, fruit baskets (round and oval), fruit platters, sugar bowls, coffee cups and saucers, and other items. This set cost $1,700, and was billed on January 30, 1865. It's not clear which firm manufactured the china, but it is clearly of French make.

On February 20, Mrs. Lincoln made an addition order of coffee cups and saucers, water pitchers, and bowls. These 24 items were in the same style, and cost $173.50.

The main set of china arrived in the United States via express shipment on February 13, 1865. The remaining 46 pieces arrived a few weeks later, and was probably delivered just days before Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 15, 1865.
