Joyously entertain guests and family using this exquisitely hand painted L. Bernardaud Limoges dessert dish. It was originally sold at Higgins and Seiter, one of the premier china retail stores in New York.
Their new structure was ready for occupancy in mid-November 1901 and Higgins & Seiter opened its showrooms to an eager public. On November 24 the New-York Tribune reported “Higgins & Seiter, Nos. 51, 53, and 55 West Twenty-first St., and Nos. 50, 52 and 54 West Twenty-second-st., are one of New-York’s best china firms. Their place of business has recently been enlarged by the addition of a new six story building, richly stocked with beautiful china and glass.”
The newspaper went on to describe the opening sale bargains. “This week they will signalize the opening of the first and second floors of their new building by the exhibition and sale of Carrara marble, bronzes, marble pedestals, dinner ware, etc. They will offer many handsome bargains in their cut glass department. Inspect particularly their cut glass decanters, cut glass jugs, Limoges china, Wedgwood china and English Caldron.” The New York Times would later opine that it had "as its customers some of the best known people in the city.”
