label: Description
content: Dr. Emanuel Newman of Falls Church, Virginia, donated the creamer to the museum in 1970. Newman had received it as a gift from the nurse who had looked after the Cleveland children in the White House. The creamer had been given to her as a memento because its handle had broken; she had kept the creamer and handle in her possession until presenting them to Newman prior to her death in 1946. The museum reattached the handle and added the tiny creamer to its display of White House china in the First Ladies Hall.
