In 1840, David Haviland, who had a china shop in New York City, made his first trip to France to establish an alliance with a manufacturer who could create pieces of porcelain for the American trade. After the Civil War, David tasked his son, Théodore Haviland, to handle distribution and marketing. Théodore left the company to start his own in 1893. Because of the approaching hostilities in Europe, Théodore moved his company to the United States in 1936, where it operated until 1957. Measurements: (Approximate measurements included below.
