"Huckleberry" dessert or fruit plate is a design from the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Porcelain Service. Porcelain with enamels and gilt decoration. The colors were applied using chromolithographic and decalcomania processes. Afterwards, decorators painted the plate with enamel colors to add shading and to enhance the design. Finally, the edges were gilt. The plate is leaf-shaped, coming to a point that the lower left edge. The design features three brown bears, the adult and two cubs, in a mountainside huckleberry patch at sunset. The cubs are feasting on scattered berries from an overturned tin pail and picking cup while the mother keeps watch. The scattered bucket lid, tin cup and straw hat are evidence of the owner's hasty retreat.
