The history of the Johann Haviland Company dates back to 1855, when David Haviland opened the Haviland and Co. porcelain factory in Limoges, France. Having left New York to open one of the most advanced china producing facilities in Europe, David Haviland and Haviland and Co. were soon known throughout the world. In 1891, Haviland and Co. split into two separate companies, Theodore Haviland and Haviland and Co. The Theodore Haviland Co. was lead by David Haviland’s second son, Theodore while Haviland and Co. was lead by David's oldest son, Charles. The two firms competed fiercely for a share of the tableware market.
