: I have 10 blue and gold haviland charger plates. the markins on the back are H & Co over L and then France.
: This marking is in green.
: Then there is a mark of Haviland & Co. over Limoges. This mark is in red.
: Can anyone tell me more about this Haviland china.
The H&Co/L dates from 1876-1889 as a manufacturers mark,
the Haviland& Co over France as a decorator mark dates from 1876-1878,1889-1931.
So probably dates from 1889-1896.
There are too many patterns (over 60,000) to idnetify. You need to contact one of the dealers and send them a picture of
a cup saucer (that is what the identification books used).
