Higgins & Seiter was a New York City fine china retailer that sold Limoges porcelain imported from France, primarily from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a retailer, they did not manufacture the porcelain themselves, but rather marked items produced by established French companies like Tressemann & Vogt with their own mark. Higgins & Seiter operated for 50 years, starting just after the Civil War and closing in 1915. Their Limoges pieces, therefore, are considered antiques. See less
