In 1842, David Haviland made Limoges, the world capital of porcelain, a cradle of art without limit. He began to write the history of the Haviland family, a name synonymous with the art of French luxury, which lasts to this day. The largest royal families and heads of state from around the world have succumbed to the charm and exceptional prestige of this porcelain. Among them include the wife of Napoleon III, Empress Eugenie, President Jacques Chirac, Prince Rainier of Monaco to name a few.
