The original company, Haviland & Co., was founded by David Haviland in 1842. Theodore Haviland, one of David’s sons, began working for the family porcelain business in 1864 and by 1878 the company was the largest in the area, according to Warman's English & Continental Pottery & Porcelain: Identification & Price Guide by Susan D. Bagdade and Al Bagdade. Théodore Haviland left his father’s company to start his own company in 1893 in Limoges France. Theodore moved his business from France to the United States in 1936, where it continued operating until 1957. It is estimated that there are over 30,000 patterns or variations of patterns produced by the Haviland firms. Many were not named, especially before 1926.

These beauties embody the luxurious craftsmanship of Haviland French Limoges fine translucent porcelain china. For a collector of Art Nouveau or Art Deco-style fine porcelain china, this set should be a must have or the perfect gift for someone who is.
