- A round deep dish from the Empress Eugenie service from the Haviland porcelain factory in Limoges.
- The round deep dish holds simmered dishes, vegetables and gratins.
- Its depth retains juices and sauces.
- Signed in blue on the back cover with the Haviland porcelain factory stamp.
- In 1900, Empress Eugenie (1826-1920), wife of Napoleon III, commissioned a table service decorated with violets from the designer Léonce
Ribière, then decorator at the Haviland factory in Limoges.In 1901, the designer and decorator Léonce
Ribiére completed the decoration of the service created for Empress Eugénie.
- The Caroline shape was chosen by Théodore Haviland for the sovereign's service, a shape that Théodore Haviland created in 1895
at the Haviland porcelain factory.
- Théodore Haviland and Léonce Ribière then launched production of the empress's dinner service at the Haviland factory.
- This infinitely delicate dinner service combines a crown of violets, Empress Eugenie's favorite flower, and recalls
the sovereign's taste for flowers and the shades of blue, mauve and violet present in her toilette.
- The composition of the decoration is in the Second Empire style.
- While the scrolling stems of violets prefigure the Art-nouveau.
- Henri-Joseph Lassére, then employed at the Haviland factory, who was a pupil of Léonce Ribière, took up this model and this
maquette on a Caroline form and it was from this that the Haviland porcelain factory reissued and produced
in 1967 the Empress Eugenie décor offered today by the Haviland factory, which is still available today
on their sales site.
- A plate and a covered soup tureen with the Impératrice Eugénie decoration are preserved in the collections of the Adrien
Dubouché museum in Limoges under inventory numbers ADL 9327-1 and ADL 9327-2, donated by the Haviland porcelain manufacture
in 1987.
- Period: 20ᵉ century.
