Original Ronald Reagan White House Fitz and Floyd china service plate. Plate measures an impressive 12″ in diameter with a blue, red, and gold border around the rim, and the United States seal in the center in gold. Bottom of the plate is marked, “White House Service by Robert C. Floyd, Fritz and Floyd, Inc. Fine China, 1983.” Accompanied by copies of two photos of these plates in use, one of a cabinet meeting in the White House, and one of President Reagan, Vice President Bush, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and other dignitaries dining at Camp David—photographic proof that these plates were used, not only at Camp David, but also for many functions within the White House short of a state dinner. Also included is a photocopy of a 1983 letter from President Reagan thanking the manufacturer Mr. Floyd for making the china “to be used in the White House, at Camp David and aboard Air Force One.” In fine condition, with Mr. Amyx’s collector’s felt tip notation to bottom of the plate.
