This antique Bernardaud French Limoges platter with pink and yellow roses and trailing green vines is a rare is Delinieres & Co. white ware blank that was hand painted by the L. Bernardaud decorating studio in an exclusive patternmissioned by Higgins and Seiter. Higgins & Seiter NYC was one of the finest high end dealers of fine porcelain and cut lead crystal in America from ca. 1863 to 1915. One of their main selling points was exclusivity, each of these bespoke patterns was produced in very limited quantities. Higgins & Seiter was so cale that they actually had a monogram and yacht department, and they had a branch in Newport RI. This 12 inch by 10 inch platter is in excellent antique condition with no chips or cracks. In addition to the retailer's mark, this is also marked with both the D & Co., and the Bernadaud back stamps that date this to the turn of the century, Bernardaud purchased D & Co. in 1900. This is a wonderful platter, the design is charming, the oval shape is classic, and itpletely sound for table use. I also have the 10 1/2 inch by 8 1/2 version of this platter, and the 14 inch by 9 inch gilded version of this platter, available in my shop. As shown in the pictures of them together, all three are same pattern, made by and for the samepanies, and I will be happy tobine ping.
