How do you identify Haviland Limoges marks?
1 Answer

To identify Haviland Limoges marks, look for images of the various back stamps used by the maker during its long history. These markings changed repeatedly. Early pieces often read "H & Co," but Haviland also marked its porcelain wares with its full brand name. Since the marks varied over the years, you can estimate the age of your piece based on what it displays. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also help you with the process. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of Haviland Limoges porcelain.
