Robert Haviland & C. Parlon

Founded by Robert Haviland in 1924, the Manufacture de Porcelaine R. Haviland & C. Parlon has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century. The dynasty was founded by William Haviland, who imported earthenware and porcelain in New York in 1771. The third generation of the Haviland family, with Robert Haviland, established the porcelain factory that has become one of France's leading luxury houses today.

Over the past century, the Manufacture de Porcelaine R. Haviland & C. Parlon has adorned the tables of museums, institutions, royal families, hotels, and restaurants with exquisite and exclusive designs. The French embassies around the world were furnished with the "Ambassade" service, which was adorned with a blue line underlined by a gold thread and stamped with the monogram R.F. The dinner service in Monet's Giverny dining room and the Russian plate created in 1762 for Empress Catherine II of Russia, reproduced for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, are some examples of the company's exceptional craftsmanship.

In 1984, R. Haviland & C. Parlon joined the prestigious Comité Colbert and in 2011, it was awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label by the French government in recognition of its ancient techniques and know-how.

In 2020, the porcelain factory was acquired by Marie-Amélie and Marie-Caroline Guillot, two sisters who aim to preserve the spirit of excellence, craftsmanship, and creativity that have made the company renowned for over a century. With a new and dynamic team, they are committed to maintaining the company's DNA, which is based on exceptional manual skills, extreme quality, and unparalleled creativity in the designs.
