Set of 6 Haviland France ca 1879 Double Handle Covered Bouillon Bowls & Underplates, Cream Soup

Porcelain : By Maker Or Type : Haviland

 

Pink and white roses, accented with blue leaves, decorate these stunning double handle covered bouillon bowls.

These are beautifully intricate, with a delicately shaped double handle bowl, and a cover bearing a gilded twig handle. The lovely design is found throughout, including inside the bowl. The saucer has a 5-1/2” diameter. The bowl is 4-1/8” in diameter at the rim and is 4-1/8” tall. The cover has a diameter of 4-1/2”.

All pieces are marked. Most bear two Haviland back-stamps. The green H & Co. Limoges, France,. back-stamp denotes that the blanks were made by Haviland, ca 1879+.

The red back-stamp, Haviland & Co., indicates they were decorated at the Haviland plant, ca 1876+. The variation has a Haviland in an arc, above France, along with the Haviland & Co. mark. All bear a third back-stamp in an oval cartouche, within which is “Made Expressly for J.E. Caldwell & Co.” J.E. Caldwell is a high-end Philadelphia jeweler, established in 1839. In addition to jewelry, it carried other high-end products, notably silver.

All are in near mint to mint condition. They are a rare find!!

These are so beautiful and perfect, I'd be hesitant to use them with hot bouillon. But wouldn't they be lovely serving a chilled Vichyssoise or Gazpacho?
