  Haviland Limoges

  is a prestigious French porcelain house founded in 1842 by David Haviland, an American china importer. The company is celebrated for revolutionizing the Limoges porcelain industry by combining high-quality French manufacturing with designs specifically tailored to international (largely American) tastes. 
  
  
  History and Legacy
  • The American Founder: David Haviland moved from New York to Limoges, France, to oversee production directly. He was the first to establish a factory that both manufactured and decorated porcelain in the same facility, ensuring consistent quality.
  • The Family Split: Following David's death, his sons, Charles Edward and Theodore, split the business in 1891. This led to two distinct companies: Haviland & Co. (led by Charles) and Theodore Haviland, Limoges (opened in 1893).

• Royal and Presidential Clientele: Haviland porcelain has graced the tables of the White House (notably for Abraham Lincoln) and has been used by European royalty, including Empress Eugénie of France.
• Innovations: The firm pioneered the use of chromolithography (transfer printing) in Limoges, allowing for the intricate, repeatable patterns for which they are famous today.
