🕰️ Brief History

Johann Haviland was founded in the early 1900s as a Bavarian offshoot of the larger Haviland family of Limoges, France. The German factory became known for producing quality porcelain for export, particularly to the U.S. The "Blue Garland" pattern is arguably their most famous and was widely distributed through department stores and supermarkets from the 1970s through the 1990s, often as wedding or anniversary gifts.

🔍 Authentication

The green mark stamped “Johann Haviland Bavaria Germany” with a crown is authentic and consistent with post-WWII exports. This backstamp was used from the 1950s into the 1990s

✅ Recommendations

• If you’re keeping it for display or family use, it's a beautiful and historically rich set.
• If you plan to sell, consider:
  • Selling individual place settings or specialty pieces (e.g., teapot, covered vegetable dish) on eBay, Etsy, or Replacements.com.
  • Full sets often fetch less per item than individually listed rare pieces.
• If you're insuring it, a professional appraisal from an appraiser of fine porcelain may be worthwhile, especially if it's a family heirloom or part of an estate.
