In the 1840s, American china shop owner David Haviland went to Limoges to research what he believed was the world's finest china. When he realized the area had a plentiful supply of kaolin, or pure white clay, he built a factory there for export.
After David's death, a number of his relatives got into the business, spawning five different Haviland companies (three are still active today). The original company became known for its Impressionist-inspired designs and perfect white color.
