History & Background of Théodore Haviland Limoges  American Visionary in France: The Haviland name originated with David Haviland, an American merchant who moved to Limoges, France, in 1842 to manufacture fine porcelain specifically tailored to American aesthetic tastes.  Théodore's Branch: David’s son, Théodore Haviland, established his own independent factory in 1890. Théodore was a master marketer and innovator, pioneering new chromolithographic decal transfers combined with hand-painted details, allowing complex floral motifs to be replicated at exceptional quality.  The Gilded Age Aesthetic: Around the turn of the 20th century (c. 1895–1915 ), Victorian and Edwardian dining culture favored multi-course dinner services adorned with soft pastels, trailing florals, and embossed porcelain rims. The Pattern Identification (Schleiger 318A)  Numerical System: Haviland rarely gave formal names to its thousands of dinnerware designs. In the mid-20th century, collector Arlene Schleiger published a multi-volume numbering guide that became the global standard for identifying Haviland porcelain.  Motif & Aesthetics: Pattern 318A features delicate, cascading spray garlands of tiny pink and pale yellow roses set against a translucent, bright white porcelain ground. The floral swags wrap gracefully around the molded, scalloped rim and accent the center basin.  Blank Shape: The porcelain blank itself features subtle scalloped edges with soft relief molding along the outer border, typical of Théodore Haviland’s Victorian-era dinnerware shapes. Collector Value & Care Notes  Versatility: Fine porcelain dinner plates from this era (typically measuring between 9 3/4” to 9 7/8”  ) are highly sought after by collectors for vintage table settings, afternoon tea services, or display vignettes in china cabinets and on sideboards.  Preservation: Because these antique pieces feature delicate overglaze transfer florals and soft porcelain composition, they should always be hand-washed with mild soap and never placed in a dishwasher or microwave. Shipping & Handling: We pack delicate porcelain with extreme care using high-quality bubble wrap and secure boxing to ensure safe arrival. It will be shipped within 1 business day.  I ship everyday. Anything bought on Saturday after 6 am will be shipped on the following Monday.
