Impératrice Eugénie

Haviland Imperatrice Eugenie is a tribute to the French aristocracy, showcasing the style and elegance of the Napoléon III era. The last Empress of France, Eugénie, inspired this pattern, which now adorns tableware, allowing you to fully appreciate its refinement. This Limoges porcelain is designed for tea parties in the spirit of European royal traditions to enjoy cozy moments with your family or even on your own.

Haviland Imperatrice Eugenie History

The history of the Haviland Imperatrice Eugenie collection begins with an Empress's idea, as she approached Théodore Haviland with a request to create a monarchical dinnerware decorated with Parma violets. The original design was created in 1901 by designer Léonce Ribière. It still adorns the initial set at the Élysée Palace. 

Later, his student Lassère reworked and modernized the pattern. It became the foundation for the modern version of the Imperatrice Eugenie French art porcelain. Since 1967, this exquisite line has been in demand by collectors and enthusiasts of Haviland's exclusive designs and fine tableware.

Imperatrice Eugenie Haviland Overview

Empress Eugénie made a significant contribution to the development of cultural life and the arts in France during her time. Therefore, such exquisite porcelain dinnerware is considered another cultural legacy of the last imperial era and a striking example of Napoléon III's style. These unique and elegant Imperatrice Eugenie items have distinct features. They are recognizable worldwide among the other classic Limoges designs.

Design

The collection belongs to the line of historical designs from the House of Haviland. These ornate dinner service sets, like the Haviland Alain Thomas collection, have been successful for decades. Many of them have become a part of museum collections, representing historical value.

Its uniqueness lies in its simple, elegant lines and soft color palette. No excessive ornamentation or bold decoration. The modern Haviland Imperatrice design features a delicate violet bush with pale petals and flowers. A golden border is also used in the decor to create a more luxurious finish.

Decoration

This collection is the true pinnacle of Limoges porcelain. The design is modest and minimalistic, created in a unique Art Nouveau style. Nevertheless, it is brimming with sophistication. Applying the pattern requires the finest craftsmanship and years of experience to ensure that the flowers on the plates and cups look as natural, refined, and delicate as possible. Therefore, it takes no less than 11 stages of production to create such a masterpiece. Each stage, including firing, decorating, and polishing, is done only by hand.

Caring

These hand-finished Haviland pieces are very elegant. Unlike modern collections, Haviland Imperatrice White is recommended for use mostly on special occasions. Despite its durability and excellent quality, each piece requires special care. Every item should not be washed in a dishwasher but cleaned by hand using gentle detergents. To prevent oxidation of the decorative elements, it is advised to dry them thoroughly after washing.
