Porcelain plate with pink rose decoration and green floral border by Haviland Limoges

Haviland & Co. was established in Limoges, France in 1842 by American entrepreneur David Haviland, becoming one of the most prestigious porcelain manufacturers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The company specialized in fine dinnerware exported primarily to the United States, with patterns featuring delicate hand-painted florals and gilt edges that epitomized Victorian and Edwardian elegance. This particular pattern, known as Schleiger 1145, features scattered pink roses with a distinctive green ivy border, typical of late 19th to early 20th century production. Haviland Limoges china remains highly collectible among antique dinnerware enthusiasts, interior designers, and those seeking to complete or expand vintage table settings. Collectors appreciate these pieces for their exceptional craftsmanship, translucent porcelain quality, and romantic aesthetic that brings timeless elegance to any dining occasion. The scalloped edge with gold trim and delicate floral motifs make these plates particularly desirable for display or special entertaining.
