In the 1890's theodore Haviland started a plate company producing his limoge pieces in New York making them readily accessible to the United States. When Theodore Haviland moved the company to the United States many dish dealers of the time bought his plate blanks and simply used their own design on the dishes because they were of such great quality. We are seeing different hand painted designs on plates that Haviland did not do and that may not in the Slesenger Book on Haviland. This plate which dates roughly 1890-1910, would have been right around the time this was beginning to happen.
