FAQs

Charles Field Haviland was part of the renowned American family that established major porcelain production in Limoges, France, during the nineteenth century. His factory specialised in high-grade hard-paste porcelain decorated with intricate enamelling and gilded embellishments aimed at European and American markets.

Pieces were crafted from kaolin-rich white porcelain clay, fired at high temperatures, and coated in a dark cobalt glaze. The raised gilt decoration involved applying a thick paste motif onto the fired glaze before laying down liquid gold, creating a textured three-dimensional metallic pattern.

Authentic items feature specific factory backstamps beneath the glaze, precise hand-applied gilding, and a translucent white hard-paste body visible on undecorated areas. Markings typically indicate the manufacturer or decorating studio active in Limoges during that era.

Small porcelain sets can be styled on glass-fronted cabinets, open kitchen dressers, or arranged on decorative trays on a sideboard top. Mixing deep blue ceramics with brass or timber accents highlights the contrast of the gilding.

Hand wash gently in lukewarm water using mild dish soap and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive pads. Do not submerge for extended periods, and avoid microwave or dishwasher use to prevent damage to the gold leaf application.
