Celadon Porcelain Teacup – Manufacture Haviland – Early 21st Century

Tea cup and saucer in celadon porcelain, coloured throughout the body, made by Manufacture Haviland in the early 21st century. An elegant, classic example of Limoges porcelain, sourced from a manufacturer’s clearance.

Celadon porcelain holds a special place in the history of Manufacture Haviland. Documented as early as the beginning of the 20th century, this porcelain body, with its soft grey-green hues, became one of the distinctive expressions of the manufacturer’s exploration of colour. Unlike a simple decorative motif or coloured glaze, celadon porcelain derives its colour directly from the porcelain body itself. Haviland continued to use this distinctive material throughout the 20th century and into its contemporary production.

This item comes from a manufacturer’s clearance and was downgraded to factory second quality before leaving the factory. It is preserved in its original condition and may display minor characteristics or irregularities associated with this classification, but remains new and without any major apparent defects.
