Limoges Theodore Haviland Soup Tureen Blank #303 Scroll Handles Gold 1903-1925

Theodore Haviland Limoges 4 Plates Saint Cloud Pink Roses Blue Flowers No Trim. DESCRIPTION: This soup tureen is on Haviland blank #303. The color palette used is pink & green on white w/gold trim on the scroll handles. There is a green leaf garland on the outside at the top of the bowl and on the lid at the outer edge. The embossed, scalloped foot is decorated in heavy gold. CONDITION: While this set is classified as used, the condition is superb. The only exception is a small flake on the interior of the flange of the lid. 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. DIMENSIONS: The oval bowl is 12″ by 7 3/8″ with a height of 4. The oval domed lid is 10 1/4″ by 7 7/8″ and has height of 2 7/8 to the top of the scroll handle. With the lid in place, the overall height is 6 1/4. HISTORY/MARKS: The American-born David Haviland settled in Limoges, France in 1842 operating a porcelain exporting business to the USA. 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.
