DESCRIPTION: This covered vegetable bowl was produced in 1904-1925. The pattern consists of pink roses with vines and green leaves. The pattern is even on the inside of the bowl. The rims are not trimmed in gold, only the three handles are.
CONDITION: While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb. We find no nicks, chips, scratches, cracks, hairlines, or repairs. There appears to be absolutely no wear to the colors and no crazing. Look in the photos to see this. The lack of utensil scratches on the set attests to the high quality of the porcelain china. The gold paint on the handles shows no wear.
DIMENSIONS: The vegetable bowl has a diameter of 8 1/8" and a height of 4 1/2" to the top of the lid's handle. Handle to handle, the bowl measures 10 1/8".
HISTORY/MARKS: The American-born David Haviland settled in Limoges, France in 1842 operating a porcelain exporting business to the USA. He purchased white ware from various factories and shipped it to his New York decorating studio. In 1847, he established a decorating studio in Limoges. He started producing porcelain in Limoges in 1865 and decorating it on site. His sons, Charles Edward and Theodore, continued the prosperous business after David’s death in 1879. Theodore left to establish his own firm in 1892 and was joined by his son, William, in 1903. In 1919, Theodore died and his firm passed on to his son. It remained in the Haviland family until 1972. The company known as Haviland Limoges is still in operation today. The red overglaze mark on this is mark #34 (Mary Frank Gaston’s Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition) which was used from 1904-1925.
