The White House held an official state dinner this past Tuesday night in honor of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, using the brand new set of china: "Kailua Blue." It's the official china of the Obama administration. With 11-piece settings for 320 people, the china cost $376,000--all paid for by a private fund. Johnny did the math, and that comes to $115 each place setting.
Michelle Obama chose the "Kailua Blue" shade of Blue to reflect the Hawaiian waters where the family spends Christmas vacation. William Allman, the White House curator, said this "modern and fresh" Blue had never been used on White House china.
