LIMOGES Saucer HAVILAND Porcelain Bone China FRANCE Rose 1888-96

Hello!  It’s a pleasure to have you here!

I am so glad you are here to see this beautiful French dish, a pretty saucer from

the 19th century  … that would be before the last one. 

It’s about 111+ years old.  The piece dates back to as early as c. 1888

It is appropriately marked and documented for the collector.

PATTERN

The decorative aspects feature a gorgeous trailing floral of the palest of pinks and

lavenders with mauve undertones done in a watercolor style. Landscape is white

porcelain.  Pretty rose blooms and buds incorporated near the center indentation.

Exquisite and sophisticated Limoges workmanship is an unsurpassed quality

and beauty of intricate embellishments surrounding pieces like this one.

This tableware is characterized by whiteness, a delicate appearance and translucence. 

Porcelain bone china was made by adding bone ash to further increase its ability to let

light through. Because of the type of porcelain used at the time, this saucer and all

Haviland & Co. porcelain bone china gives a familiar bell-like ring tone when struck.

HISTORY

Haviland & Co. of Theodore Haviland and Charles Haviland began in 1864 and the

company dissolved in 1891 with each of the men going their separate way.   

I have a sugar bowl in this pattern and a few other Limoges you may want to see.
