Antique Haviland Limoges creamer

Limoges, France Circa 1890-1910

Haviland & Co. was a prominent American company that established its porcelain factory in Limoges, France, in the mid-19th century. They became renowned for producing high-quality, decorative porcelain dinnerware and tableware, often featuring intricate hand-painted designs. Their pieces were highly sought after by American and European clientele, becoming synonymous with elegant table settings.

This particular creamer, likely from the late Victorian or Edwardian era, showcases the popular aesthetic of the time with its floral motifs and gilded accents. The use of the Schleiger numbering system, a catalog created by a collector to identify Haviland patterns, further aids in dating and classifying such pieces. These creamers were essential components of tea and coffee services, valued for both their utility and decorative appeal.
