Offering eight lovely, perfect white French plates with scalloped edges. They are in exceptionally good condition and I see no chips, cracks, crazing repairs or utensil marks. They were made between 1893 and 1931 as evidenced by the simple green Haviland France stamp under the glaze. You will notice that t is no line, indicating that these are much earlier plates than most you will see. It's incredible that these 9-3/4" dinner plates are around 100 years old. I would be surprised if they had been used more than a dozen times. We also have 3 ADDITIONAL plates from this same set that were sadly damaged very slightly. One has a little rough spot on the edge, and two have tiny ships out of the scalloped edge. They will be included in the set at no extra charge and are probably worth $10 or $12 each with slight damage. That's a total of 11 plates. is a bit of hisitory on Haviland of France that you may find interesting.The histories of Theodore Haviland and Charles Haviland (Haviland & Co.) are like two poles of a single magnet: inextricably connected, though charged with seemingly irreconcilable opposition. Two sons of David Haviland, they both played leading roles in their father's china company from its inception in 1864. Theodore lived in New York, focusing on marketing and distribution, while Charles Haviland (David's oldest son) lived in Limoges and managed the manufacturing and decorating studios within the factory. When their father died in 1879, however, this convenient division of labor broke down. Theodore moved to Limoges to join Charles in managing the factory, but was unsatisfied with the level of influence his brother allowed him. Unable to resolve their differences, the company dissolved in 1891. Shortly tafter, each of the brothers began his own separate business. Charles quickly reclaimed the family name "Haviland et Cie." (Haviland & Co.,) while Theodore began a company under his own name. The two companies fiercely vied with one another for the next few decades, each of them struggling to outdo the other and claim the rightful title of "genuine Haviland." Both brothers died within two years after World War I, but the companies were passed on to their respective sons. In 1930, Haviland & Co. failed, and was tafter purchased by Gérard, Duffraisseix & Abbot-the same company that previously took over the management of Charles Field Haviland. By 1941, however, William Haviland, Theodore Haviland's son, obtained all the rights to the old Haviland & Co. marks and models. The two companies again became one, under the name "Haviland S.A."
