Beautiful photography illustrates the evolution of Haviland china from its beginnings in the 1840s through the twentieth century. From the early multifloral and botanical designs, through the Japanese influence, the Impressionist, Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles, to patterns and shapes of the mid-twentieth century. Many of the patterns are cataloged by Schleiger numbers, the form of pattern identification preferred by most Haviland matchers. Rounding out the presentation are a listing of back marks and current market prices that are included with the captions.
