HISTORY/MARKS: John Haviland, the grandson of David Haviland and son of Charles Haviland, started his own company Johann Haviland Company in Bavaria, Waldershof, Germany in 1907 since he could get the kaolin needed to make porcelain. By 1924, his business had failed. An Italian firm (Richard-Ginori) bought the company. In 1937 it was sold to the Rosenthal conglomerate and began producing fine china for export to the United States using the mark “Johann Haviland, Bavaria, Germany”. Robert E. Rontgen’s Marks on German, Bohemian Austrian Porcelain 1710 to the Present cites the mark on this set as mark #1237 used in the 1966-1998. The pattern Moss Rose was produced at the Waldershof, Germany factory until the late 1980's. This was produced 1966-late 1980's time period.
