Question:
Am interested in anything anyone might know about this porcelain turkey figurine. It is stamped Haviland Limoges France, but more importantly appears to be signed in gold by someone with last name of Haviland and dated 11-27-56. (I cannot read the first name)

Thank you!!
Answer:
Don't know anything about the Turkey, but Frederick Haviland worked for the company from 1938 through 1983 and it appears that he signed dinnerware at many events. You know, like when an artist comes to town and everyone lines up to get their items signed.
Scroll to close to the bottom to see a Denver signing.

Answer:
You're are exactly correct Elizabeth. The signature is the same. I kept thinking the first letter was an S not an F. Thank you so very much!
