Haviland: Craftsmen of flames, the men and women of the Haviland manufacturer work with materials as if they were storytellers. Since 1842, they have been giving kaolin its nobility with their in-house techniques. Through their incredible passion, passed down from generation to generation, they narrate beautiful stories from simple white pieces, whose skillfully sketched shapes are as much of a pleasure to the eyes as they are to listen and to touch. Before receiving the prestigious backstamp Haviland Limoges France, the material will undergo the test of fire, at a temperature of 1,400 degrees Celsius. The enameling gives it an exceptional shine and a translucent appearance. Then, with a brush in hand, the craftsmen skilled in gold and pigments will bring to life the imagination of the greatest artists, with an unparalleled know-how which they hold secret. Haviland is one of the last porcelain manufacturers in France to produce its porcelain entirely in Limoges, from the manufacturing to the decoration of its services.
