Fine Antique Porcelain and Teaware

Vintage Charles Field Haviland (CFH/GDA) Limoges Porcelain Tea Service

This is an elegant vintage porcelain tea service manufactured in Limoges, France, identified by the 'CFH' stamp as the work of Charles Field Haviland (often associated with the GDA - Gerard, Dufraisseix, and Abbot period). The set features a delicate, pale mint or celadon green border on a fine white translucent porcelain body. The decoration consists of hand-painted or high-quality transfer-applied floral swags featuring small pink and white blossoms with subtle green foliage. A defining characteristic of this set is the ornate, rococo-style gilded accents, particularly visible on the butterfly or scroll-shaped handles of the teacups and the pierced 'ear' handles of the serving platters. The gilding appears to be in good condition, showing consistent luster throughout the visible pieces. The set includes multiple footed teacups, saucers, small luncheon or dessert plates, a creamer pitcher, and a waste bowl or sugar bowl. The craftsmanship reflects the high standards of late 19th to early 20th-century Limoges production, characterized by thin walls and a smooth, vitrified glaze. Based on the CFH mark and aesthetic style, this service likely dates from the late Victorian or Edwardian era (circa 1890-1910). The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing, though light shelf wear on the unglazed foot rings is expected for its age.
