<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bluumz, post: 9582885, member: 649&quot;]According to some internet searching...</p><p>GD<b>M (</b>Gerard, Dufraiuseix and Morel) purchased Charles Field Haviland&#039;s company name upon his retirement in the 1881. They had a change of partners in 1890 with Abbot stepping into Morel&#039;s place and the company then became GD<b>A</b>. In 1941, GDA sold the CF Haviland mark to another company.</p><p>However, in contrast to the 1890 date of change from GDM to GDA stated above, the <a href="https://havilandcollectors.com/hcif/haviland-backmarks/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://havilandcollectors.com/hcif/haviland-backmarks/" rel="nofollow">Haviland Collectors website</a> dates your particular GDA mark as 1900+. They have very little info about CF Haviland on their &quot;<a href="https://havilandcollectors.com/hcif/haviland-history/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://havilandcollectors.com/hcif/haviland-history/" rel="nofollow">History</a>&quot; page (and seem much more focused on David Haviland&#039;s more prolific/popular company overall):</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Charles Field Haviland, the nephew of David Haviland, married into another porcelain family in 1859. When he retired in 1881 the name was “bought”, and has been passed down through several firms until the present day.</i></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.havilandcollectors.com//BM3r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry, none of this helps with your search for a pattern name! I just thought I&#039;d add some reference material to this thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
