Herb Planter – Manufacture Haviland – Limoges, Early 21st Century

Limoges porcelain herb planter by Manufacture Haviland.

Of cylindrical form, slightly flared towards the top, this piece features a particularly understated, contemporary design. Entirely white, it is finished with a glossy glaze that highlights the whiteness and fine quality of Limoges porcelain.

Designed to hold a small pot of aromatic herbs, it would sit beautifully on a kitchen worktop, table or windowsill. It could also be repurposed as a small decorative container or catchall dish.

The mark visible on this piece corresponds to a relatively recent production; it does not, on its own, establish an exact year of manufacture. The piece can reasonably be dated to the early 21st century.

This item comes from a manufacturer’s clearance. It was downgraded to second quality when released by the manufacturer. It has been preserved in its original condition and may show minor characteristics or irregularities associated with its classification, but remains new and has no major visible defects.
