1840, David Haviland, who had a china shop in New York City moved to Limoges, France to oversee production. This was near the source of the abundant kaoline mines, the special white clay unique to Limoges porcelain. He established his own company in 1853 to produce china specifically for the American market.
There were numerous china manufacturers in Limoges, but Haviland’s company was the first to have artists on the site to do the decorating. After the Civil War, David sent his son, Theodore, to the U.S. to handle distribution and marketing. Many talented artists were engaged and soon the lithograph was developed. White House china sets were designed for Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes and Harrison. But the Victorian housewife was the primary customer with a wide variety of patterns to choose from.
