Clair de Lune
For over two centuries, the Haviland brand has remained a leader in fine French Limoges porcelain production. The manufacturers continue to create high-quality pieces from Limoges clay, while artisans hand-decorate each element using the finest materials.
Haviland Limoges represents a balance between history and innovation, and Haviland Clair de Lune is proof of that. This collection is yet another success for the company and a striking example of this harmony.
Haviland Clair de Lune Origin
Haviland Clair de Lune is a successful collection from the Haviland House, part of their modern luxury French tableware line. Its only rival in popularity is the Infini White Collection.
Launched in 2001, the designer’s vision was to capture the beauty and delicacy of moonlight on the finest porcelain. Haviland offers Clair de Lune dinnerware in two variations.
- UNI Claire Haviland is a simple white porcelain, elegantly coated with a matte silvery-gray base. Each piece is outlined with a subtle platinum trim along its edges.
- ARCADE features delicate platinum arcades, each hand-painted and gracefully placed on the same textured gray base.
Today, Haviland collaborates actively with renowned restaurants and prestigious hotels worldwide. Clair de Lune Haviland is a top choice in the HoReCa sector and highly favored by homemakers with refined taste.
Overview of the Haviland Clair de Lune Arcade collection
From the Clair de Lune dinnerware duo, MDMAISON presents the more luxurious version—Arcade.
This is the same renowned Art Deco Haviland porcelain, with hand-crafted decorations in precious metals. It’s beautiful, high-quality tableware, ideal for clients who embrace the concept of perfect design in every detail.
Haviland Clair de Lune china serves as the perfect striking detail when it comes to aesthetics.
Design
Arcade Claire Haviland is an analog to the elegant porcelain collections Illusion by Barbara Barry from the Timeless Pieces (offered in two versions: the Haviland Illusion Menthe Collection and the Illusion Lavande Collection). These Haviland dinner sets were also introduced in 2001. They are more luxurious and exclusive pieces, suited for grander, more formal occasions.
With its refined platinum lines, Haviland Clair de Lune can shine as a classy everyday accent in your kitchen or serve as a decorative centerpiece for your design project. In contrary to the Illusion collection, Clair de Lune porcelain set features an original satin finish. It pairs harmoniously with the platinum lines, giving each plate a more textured look.
Colors
Arcade French luxury dinnerware is presented in the same color palette as Uni: a neutral, barely noticeable shade of silvery gray. It becomes more evident thanks to a specially unique surface treatment technique. The rim is handcrafted. All decorative arcades on the pieces are unique and durable platinum elements.
Features of the Arcade Clair de Lune Collection
White porcelain is a classic. And always suitable. However, fashion sets its trends, and the luxury segment demands innovation and creativity.
The Haviland Clair de Lune collection embodies both chic and reliability. The set includes a complete range of tableware, allowing you to host any lunch or dinner with ease. You can confidently use it for any purpose without worrying that the satin finish or platinum elements won’t withstand the demands.
This Limoges porcelain is resistant to high and low temperatures, impacts, and scratches, and easy to clean.
