GDA Charles Field Haviland Limoges 8 Coupe Soup Bowls Pink Roses Green Shamrocks. DESCRIPTION: This beautiful set of 8 coupe soup bowls has the embossed swirls that add to its uniqueness. The delicate pattern consists of pink roses & green shamrock leaves. There are grey ghost flowers and leaves to add to its allure. CONDITION: While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb. The only issue is a that one bowl has a small flake on the backside of the rim. All of the photos are taken of this bowl to show that it is still beautiful from the front and very usable. Specifically, see photos #7, #9 & #11. We find no nicks, chips, scratches, cracks, hairlines, other flakes 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. When you run your finger around the rim of the bowls, it literally sings to you attesting to the quality of the porcelain. DIMENSIONS: The coupe soup bowls have a diameter of 7 5/8″ and a height of 1 3/8″. HISTORY/MARKS: Charles Field Haviland is the nephew of David Haviland, who started his company in 1853 in Limoges, France to manufacture china for the American market. Charles Field in 1858 married Loiuse Alluaud, the granddaughter of the Alluaud porcelain family. In 1876 management of the firm was entrusted to Charles Field Haviland and the name was changed prior to his retirement in 1881. When he retired, the name was bought and has passed down through several firms until the present day. However, the style of the china is early 1900′s. GDA stands for Gerard, Dufraisseix, & Abbot. In addition, there is a red overglaze ribbon mark indicating Charles Field Haviland as the decorating studio as well as having the “W” which indicates the importer was Wanamaker Department Stores of New York. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description. The stand was used as a photo prop and is not part of this listing. See additional international policies below.
