Wineglasses, Tulip Champagne Glass, Finger Bowl, and Goblet, Kennedy Administration, White House Collection
This glassware, including wine glasses, a tulip champagne glass, a finger bowl, and a goblet, was part of a set ordered by President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961 from the Morgantown Glassware Guild of Morgantown, West Virginia. The purchase of the elegant, simple set ended a long tradition of engraved glassware at the White House. The glassware became widely popular as many Americans purchased the same set for their households.
