Charles Field in 1858 married Loiuse Alluaud, the granddaughter of the Alluaud porcelain family. In 1876 management of the firm was entrusted to Charles Field Haviland and the pottery’s name was changed prior to his retirement in 1881. When he retired, the pottery was sold and has passed through several parterships until present day. The partnership of Gerard, Dufaisseix & Morel took over. The whiteware mark was changed to have the GDM under the CFH. Morel ceased to be a partner in 1890. This item was manufactured by GDM (Gerard, Dufaisseix & Morel) at their Rue De Nexon pottery in Limoges, France. This is one of the successors to the CFH pottery. It has the green CFH/GDM backstamp with France written under it which came into effect with the partnership between Emile Gerard - Director, Jean-Baptiste Dufraisseix - Decorator, and Morel in 1891. This mark continued in use until 1900. This is cited in Mary Frank Gaston’s Collector’s Encyclopedia of Limoges Porcelain, 3rd edition as mark #2 for Gerard, Dufraisseix & Morel which was used in the time period 1891-1900. It also has green decorator’s mark #3 which used in the 1882-1900. This makes the time period for production 1891-1900. Please view all pictures carefully as they are part of the description.
