○ Era: 1890-1920, saucer only.
This is an antique piece, over 100 years old.
The simple appearance features small white and pink flowers painted in a soft color palette, giving a gentle feeling.
It's also fun to imagine what the cup might have looked like. (The era is based on personal research on the internet.)
○ Backstamp: CH FIELD HAVILAND and GDA
Charles Field Haviland (1832-1896) was the son of David Haviland, the founder of Haviland Limoges.
GDA is a workshop that Charles Field Haviland started as a porcelain design studio.
After Charles retired, Gerald, Dufraisseix, and Morel took over, changing the company name to GDM (initials). Later, Morel left and Abbot joined, resulting in the company name GDA.
Diameter: Approximately 14cm
In the second image, there is a slight indentation in the center. It's noticeable in the photos, but it seems to be a common occurrence in older items, likely from the manufacturing process.
In the third image, there is a small chip on the foot.
Overall, I don't feel that the appearance is significantly compromised for an old item (this is my subjective opinion).
Please check the images and feel free to ask any questions.
(Like me) Even those who think antique tableware is a bit of a hurdle, might find it easier with just a saucer... maybe.
It's a little nerve-wracking that porcelain, which can break so easily, has lasted over 100 years and is now in my hands.
Thank you for considering it.
