Where is Haviland china made?
1 Answer

Haviland china is made in Limoges, France. In 1842, American porcelain importer David Haviland relocated to the city. There, he founded his manufacturing company, Haviland & Co., and began exporting china to the U.S. and beyond. Today, Haviland's great-grandson Theodore Haviland II, continues to run the company and oversees its Limoges-made manufacturing operations. On 1stDibs, explore a collection of Haviland & Co. china.
