At Haviland, everything starts with real white gold. From the porcelain paste to the creation of the shape, every millimeter of the plate is thought out to perfection. As if it were a blank canvas, the manufacturer’s craftsmen conjure the decorations and patterns of the dishes to achieve perfect harmony.
