Both of these vases were produced by either William Ellis Tucker or Joseph Hemphill, both of Tucker and Hemphill in Philadelphia.

The vase on the right is the reverse view and has a portrait of the Marquis de Lafayette on the front. The vases were added to the White House Collection through the White House Acquisition Fund in 1979.
