English: Candlestick holder and candle cap, purchased as part of a toilet set by First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln in 1861 and used in the White House in Washington, D.C., in the United States. The set is based on the "Solferino" porcelain china dining service ordered by Mrs. Lincoln in April 1861. The set is named for the purple color (known as "solferino") which borders the items. The toilet set was ordered on July 18, 1861, and consisted of two services. The one for Abraham and Mary Lincoln consisted of a ewer and basin, covered chamber pot, soap box, brush tray, jug, foot bath, and slop jar. It cost $45, and was decorated with the solferino border, although the Alhambra (braided gold rope) edging was replaced with a quatrefoil and tassel motif. The Great Seal of the United States present on the dining service was replaced with a Gothic "ML" in the center. A plain white toilet set, with the same items, formed the second set. This less fancy set cost just $24.50. Mrs. Lincoln ordered a third fancy toilet set, this one decorated with the U.S. coat of arms, on July 30, 1861. It appears intended for Mrs. Lincoln's bedroom, as it also included a mouth ewer, sponge box, power box, and pair of candlesticks. The cost of the plain toilet set was $115.
