Haviland, Impératrice Eugénie, Soy bowl
Léonce Ribière, a visionary designer, conceived a unique pattern for Empress Eugénie, which is now showcased in the Haviland Porcelain Museum in Limoges. His protégé, Lassère, refined this original design, forming the basis of the Impératrice Eugénie pattern. This particular design, produced by Haviland in 1967, continues to be a beloved classic in their collection today. The Impératrice Eugénie pattern echoes the cultural legacy of Empress Eugénie, underlining her significant contribution to the Napoleon III style. Adorned with a motif of delicate violets, the design transcribes the language of flowers onto porcelain. In floral symbolism, the violet stands for modesty, timidity, and decency, characteristics captured through the small corolla gently peeking from its leafy nest. This delicate symbolism imparts the pattern with a subtle, royal elegance.
