Front row (L-R): Olive dish, Apollinaris tumbler, sherry glass, ice cream plate, salt cellar, finger bowl. Back row (L-R): Decanter, goblet, champagne glass, wine glass, claret glass, water bottle. The majority of the glassware is in a Russian-pattern and engraved with a version of the United States coat of arms. It was first ordered by President Benjamin Harrison in 1891 and manufactured by C. Dorflinger & Sons. The olive dish, ordered in 1900, and the salt cellar, in a hobnail pattern and ordered in 1898, were both manufactured by T.G. Hawkes & Company and are believed to be replacement pieces to the Harrison crystal ordered by President William McKinley.
