In 1924 Robert Haviland, at the age of 27, founded his own china making business marking his wares with his name. Two years later, through a partnership with his brother-in-law Pierre le Tanneur, a new company was born : “Robert Haviland & le Tanneur”.
Shortly before World War II, Camille Parlon, the owner of Union Céramique, brought his know-how to their business. In 1941, Robert Haviland acquired the “Charles Field Haviland” brand. In homage to the memory of his grandfather, he decided to stamp this brand on chinaware produced by his company, which was renamed “Robert Haviland & C.Parlon” in 1949.
