1891-present Theodore Haviland split from his family company, Haviland & Co., and formed his own china business in 1891. Haviland produced a wide range of china, even expanding into sculpture, advertising in 1916 animal sculptures made by Swiss artist Edouard-Marcel Sandoz (see below). Haviland & Co. closed in 1931, and Theodore Haviland’s company won the rights to Haviland & Co.’s name and backstamps. It is estimated that the company has produced more than 60,000 patterns and is still in business today. RRH
