An exceptional antique French porcelain bouillon cup by Tressemann & Vogt (T&V) of Limoges, beautifully decorated for the prestigious New York retailer Higgins & Seiter.
This elegant double-handled form is adorned with delicate hand-painted rose sprays, each finely detailed against a luminous ivory ground. The piece is further elevated by intricate gilt decoration along the rim and foot, where the gold work displays remarkable brightness and clarity, catching the light with a warm, radiant glow.
The graceful pedestal base and balanced proportions give the cup a refined, sculptural presence, while the rich gilt handles add both contrast and sophistication. Whether displayed as part of a collection or styled as a standalone accent, this piece embodies the timeless elegance associated with early 20th century Limoges porcelain.
The underside retains both the green T&V Limoges France mark and the retailer’s mark for the renowned New York retailer Higgins & Seiter, a premier importer of fine European porcelain active from the late 19th century until 1915, placing this piece firmly within the golden age of luxury American tableware.
A beautiful and highly decorative example, equally suited for display, gifting, or collecting.
