How do you identify Haviland Limoges marks?

1 Answer
How do you identify Haviland Limoges marks?
To identify Haviland Limoges marks, look for images of the various back stamps used by the maker during its long history. These markings changed repeatedly. Early pieces often read "H Co," but Haviland also marked its porcelain wares with its full brand name. Since the marks varied over the years, you can estimate the age of your piece based on what it displays. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also help you with the process.

Haviland Limoges Butterfly Handled Cup and saucer set, 1879-1889, Aesthetic
By Haviland Co.
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Cup and saucer set by Haviland Cie is decorated in Aesthetic style, combining elements of 3 different patterns. Meadow Visitors butterflies, placed between Bracquemond style sprays of pink roses and blue cornflowers, are accentuated with grey and gold medallions in abstract design. The butterflies and roses are decorated with raised enamel accents, and the butterfly shaped handle is outlined with delicate gold veins, tracing the wing pattern. The cup is 2.12" tall and 3.5" wide at the rim; the saucer is 5.65" in diameter. Set uses butterfly handled blank that was in production for relatively short time; factory decorated pieces are rather rare due to limited supply and fragility of the cups. This set is marked with the blue donut-shaped decorator mark, used in 1879-1889, on both cup and saucer, and underglaze green manufacturer marks: H&C on the cup, dating it 1876-1879, and H&C/L on the saucer, dating it 1876-1889. Examples of similar decorations, utilizing abstract border designs instead of medallions on china with Meadow Visitors decor, can be seen in Haviland China...
