President and Mrs. Eisenhower’s personally-owned and -used vase. Heavy Swedish crystal vase stands 6″ tall with an engraved image of a nude woman sitting on a hilltop watching the sunrise. Accompanied by a 1985 letter of authenticity on a White House card from Dolores Moaney, the Eisenhower’s personal cook and the wife of President Eisenhower’s valet, Sgt. John Moaney. Letter reads, in part: “The 6 1/2 in. Fine Swedish crystal was owned and used by President and Mrs. Eisenhower. After the death of the President on 3/28/69, Mamie gave it to Ike’s valet, Sgt. Moaney, who served the President from 1942–1969.” In very good condition, with a chip to top edge, and surface wear to the inside center portion of vase.
