: : I have a 12 setting/6 pc set of Johann Haviland with the addl serving pieces (gravy boat, sugar with lid, creamer, vegetable bowl and serving platter). It bears a "pink rose" unlike any other I have found surfing. Also a "gold" trim around the edges of all pieces. The 6 pieces consist of: dinner plate, bread/butter plate; very small dish : : These were my Mom's (1927) and there is no one to assist me in it's origins or history. How can I identify the pattern and any value? I am looking to sell them. : : Regards, Lucinda Burgess, NJ : I just got onto this website, and am trying to find any info on Johann Haviland, my set is large, it has a silver trim, and all the info I have found on Haviland China has nothing about Johann, also, mine says Bavaria, Germany, does yours? I'm beginning to think mine is a reproduction??? Could you tell me all you know. Thanks, i was so excited to see a reference to johann, Claire, I also have a large set of Johann Haviland Bavarian China with platinum trim and a gray wheat design. I got it as "grocery store" china at the Safeway store in the 1970s. It was not free, but I was able to buy a starter set of four place settings or an accessory piece each week if I purchased a certain amount of groceries. I still have the little leaflet that showed the two patterns available: "Blue Garland" and "Silver Wheat", and where to order replacement pieces. I have been looking for information on it but this is the first mention of it I have found, if this is indeed like yours. There are two cups and saucers available on eBay but the pattern name is not mentioned. I had begun to think I was the only one in the world who chose the Silver Wheat pattern!
