HISTORY
Charles Field Haviland originally was employed by his uncle David Haviland, the man responsible for founding Haviland & Company. When Charles Field Haviland retired in 1881 the company known as Gerard, Dufraisseix, and Morel assumed responsibility for the operation of the company. By 1886 Edgar Abbot joined the company and by 1900 the company became known as Gerard, Dufraisseix, and Abbot, or GDA.
DESCRIPTION
This listing is for an antique Haviland Gerard, Dufraisseix, & Abbot GDA chocolate pot and original matching lid. The chocolate pot and matching lid both carry an embossed patterning in the porcelain and then have been decorated with pink English garden roses and vining foliage. Moriage beading with hand painted gold gilt decorates the circumference of the lid as well as the circumference of the rim itself. The lower edges of the chocolate pot are also decorated with patterned gold gilt trim; the handle of the chocolate pot is also embellished with gold gilt. The matching lid carries a ring style handle with gold gilt embellishment. The underside of the chocolate pot carries the GDA underglaze marks.
CONDITION
This antique Limoges chocolate pot and lid set is in wonderful condition. The hand painted porcelain is free of any signs of damage such as chips, cracks, flea bites, crazing, or repairs. I did notice one area on the handle of the chocolate pot where the hand painted gold gilt is lighter in application; this may be due to being applied lighter in that area or usage wear over the past 125 plus years.
This antique Limoges chocolate pot set has come from a smoke free estate collection and is odor free.
