I'm new to the Haviland world, so please be patient. I have china service I would like to know more about this china service. I was able to determine the pattern by seeing a resemblence of it in "Haviland China" by Nora Travis. Most of the dishes are signed simply CFH - Charles Field Haviland but there is also the sign CFH/GDM-Charles Field Haviland/Gerard Dufraisseix et Morel. My pattern is similar to those depicted in Ms. Travis book but not the same. I also noticed on each piece the designs have slight differences and the painting is textured. Also one of the cake dishes has something like a six in the white glaze. Would love any info that can be provided. Thank you. E.Black
