Happily entertain guests and family using this hand painted Haviland pitcher. The apples are nestled among the leaves. The trim is gold. The background is a pale green and the inside is a lovely white. This hand painted Haviland Limoges pitcher was produced between 1894 and 1931, sometime between the Victorian age and the roaring twenties.
The history of Limoges china begins in the late 1700s when kaolin was found in the soil near the city of Limoges in the region of France known as Limousin. Serves, the Royal porcelain factory at the time, was commissioned by the Royal Court of France to manufacture the fine porcelain dinnerware.
There are many companies that are called Limoges because it is from a region of France rather than from one company, but this is Haviland, one of the best.
The price also includes free US shipping and free shipping insurance.
This piece is 8" tall. The base is 7" wide. From the spout to the outer handle, it is 8".
This French porcelain is in excellent condition. There are no chips, cracks or crazing. There is some gold wear on the handle and ruffled edges which is shown in the pictures. There is NO damage. We do not sell damaged items. You may buy with confidence.

For Haviland , this pitcher is unlike any I have seen. The design and colors are bold and bright. Reds and greens predominate regardless that it is not a Christmas design. I will use it a lot . It was packed for its shipping as well as I have ever seen. I am more than satisfied with this purchase and this seller. I highly recommend.
