The History Of Haviland Limoges China

Established in the 1840s, Haviland & Co. is a manufacturer of Limoges porcelain in France. The company was founded by members of the Haviland family who were importing porcelain to the US at the time. Haviland & Co.’s main market has always been the US.

The company achieved its greatest success in the late 19th century when it used innovative designs to gain a foothold in markets for porcelain, stoneware, and other ceramics. American David Haviland recognized the quality of French porcelain and successfully imported the product for his American clientele.

Although others imported French wares, Haviland recognized the quality of French wares and reprioritized his import business to bring in only porcelains from France.

Haviland acquired white porcelain blanks from other porcelain manufacturers in Limoges and decorated them at Haviland locations in the United States. The company’s decorations sometimes included high-fire colors, which required kilns with a high enough temperature to burn the porcelains.

Because of Haviland Brothers & Company’s strong presence in the market, they significantly influenced the porcelain industry in France. Their streamlined business model and dominance meant that other firms had to copy them or risk being squeezed out.

In 1853 the American porcelain firm of Haviland & Co. imported more French porcelain into the United States than any other firm. Limoges was especially popular in North America, and Haviland sold it mainly in four market regions: French Canada, New York, the Mississippi Valley, and the southeastern United States as a whole.

After the Civil War, Haviland Brothers & Co. closed its doors for lack of business. Its owner, David Haviland, took this opportunity to go into business for himself and rebranded his new company Haviland and Company. He also brought his sons Charles Edward and Theodore into the company, with Charles Edward taking over the day-to-day operations from his father within a few years.

Theodore then moved to the United States to handle the exporting and promoting side of their uncle’s business – the side that handled Haviland China.

Steps To Authenticate Haviland China Pieces

To identify your china pieces, you’ll need a magnifying glass to look for small marks on the underside of your pieces.

Mark	Date
C-1	1868-
C-2	1876-
C-3	1882-
C-4	1891-
C-5	1900-
C-6	1941-
C-7	–
C-8	1862-present

Step 1. Make sure to clean the Haviland china thoroughly, exposing the markings on each piece. Use a mild soap and lint-free, nonabrasive cloth to gently clean all Haviland china pieces.

Step 2. Charles Haviland pieces can be identified by certain marks. The most common mark is called “Mark C-8.” It is a circle painted in red underglaze. Inside the circle is another circle, and between the two circles is the following writing: “Ch. Field Haviland Limoges.” If a piece has this mark, it was made in 1862 in Limoges, France.

Step 3. Find Mark C-3 on pieces from 1882. They will have the letters “CFH” above a horizontal line and “GDM” below that same line, with the GDM upside-down when the CFH is right-side up.

Step 4. Look for the mark C-5 on the bottoms of your pieces. It reads: “GDA/France,” and features a line separating the initials and country. Gerard, Dufraisseix & Abbott manufactured these pieces.

Step 5. Take your pieces to a local antique china appraisal service for a formal, professional evaluation. Although some of the pieces are marked with an identifying maker, many patterns that were produced by the Haviland family between 1872 and 1971 did not have maker’s marks.

How Much Is Haviland China Worth

An often-asked question is ‘How much is Haviland China worth?’ The answer can range, depending on the type and edition of your Haviland china.

Final Words

History and patterns are certainly important factors for a china collector to consider, since background information can be useful in determining how popular a Haviland pattern will be among different collectors. In addition, it is important to know that the price of Haviland China is primarily based on its value as an antique piece and a collectible rather than utilitarian purposes.

Finding an intact Haviland dish ensures that it is worth much more than a plate with a chip or scratch in it. The body color also influences the value of Haviland china pieces. Keeping track of these patterns is what can help make Chinese collecting more manageable and less overwhelming.
