Haviland identification is difficult as there are over 30,000 patterns and variations. Only about 6,000 have been identified and cataloged in the Schleiger system. Most patterns do not have factory-given names. Some received names from later writers or in common usage. There are four major brands:
1) Haviland & Co. Limoges (H&Co.)
2) Theodore Haviland, both France and New York
3) Charles Field Haviland (CFH)
4) Johann Haviland, the later, inexpensive Bavarian china. We do not identify Johann Haviland pieces.
Send us a digital image or scan of your pattern. Send your information and images to Pattern ID Request.
A plate is best. Only two images, please, front and back. Cups, serving pieces, coffee pots, etc. are not helpful. You can also send a regular photo by snail mail. Ask for the address, or use the Contact Us page on this website.
