Includes 12 dinner, 12 luncheon, & 11 salad plates; 8 sauce dishes; 1 small platter; 1 round vegetable dish w/lid; 1 oval vegetable dish w/lid; 1 gravy boat w/attached underplate; 1 relish dish; 1 round butter dish w/insert and cover; 11 butter pats; 1 sugar bowl; 1 cream pitcher; 12 saucers; 4 cups; 11 butter pats It is missing one salad plate and 8 cups.
I am requesting assistance with: (1) pattern identification, and (2) estimated value
Re: Theodore Haviland Limoges
Haviland comes in more patterns than is possible to remember off the topp of one's head, literally thousands. Many have no names at all, just pattern numbers, your best bet, and it will take a lot of time will be to check with replacements.com. You can email images of your pattern to them for identification. As for value, demand for 20th century dinner servuces is in decline at the moment , I routinely see great Haviland sets for 12 sell for under $500.00 at auction.
Re: Theodore Haviland Limoges
Thank you for your response.
I actually did submit a query to Replacements. A pattern ID was sent to me based their catalog system: "Pattern: H18 by Haviland [H H18]; Description: Theo, Fr, Pink Roses, Green Scrolls." I followed up with a phone call and was told that the actual name of the pattern was not known.
Any other suggestions out there?

Amazingly, I just stumbled onto a website, Scott's Haviland China, and was able to identify the pattern from the gallery of images. The pattern is called "Martha."
