The American/French Connection
The Haviland Company was established by David Haviland in Limoges, France in the 1840's. He helped implement new methods of decorating china in the 1870's. Limoges is known for the fine porcelain made from local deposits of kaolin, and required ingredient for hard paste porcelain. There are so many patterns of Haviland china that a numbers scheme was devised by Arlene Schleiger in the 1930's, and her original work went to six volumes with approximately 4000 examples. Schleiger number are still used today to identify specific patterns of Haviland Limoges porcelain.

Stoke-on-Trent
Pottery and China Center of England
Minton is one of the many pottery and china makers located in Stoke-on-Trent. In fact the area around Stoke-on-Trent is known as "The Potteries" for the number of such companies that have or do exist in the area. Considerable consolidation occurred during the late Twentieth Century, and conglomerate china companies were formed to try and keep English china competitive with imported china. Most of the remaining potteries have visitor centers and factory tours, as well as the area having museums of china by companies no longer working. For the porcelain and china lover, Stoke-on-Trent is a must-see when in England.
