Description: Notes: Listing contains 6 vintage and 1 antique handpainted Limoges France pieces from which to choose. More photos of each item can be found in the drop-down menu, and a full description of each can be found below. You are welcome to purchase any # of items, but if you make a multiple purchase, be sure to USE YOUR CART because I offer both combined shipping and a quantity discount (more details about mtuli purchase discounts can be found below after product descriptions).Since I can't know which item(s) you will chooose to purchase, this listing defaults to shipping the largest/heaviest item, so you may be overcharged for shipping if you purchase a smaller/lighter item. I will gladly refund you the difference as soon as I have finalized your package to determine a more appropriate ship cost.

Online History Of Higgins & Seiter: This was a specialty store in New York that dealt in fine china. The firm was organized just after the end of the Civil War by Colonel Charles Jacob Seiter and brothers Barton B. and Arthur Higgins. That partnership was formalized in 1887. The trio filled their warehouses with the highest grade and most expensive home items imported from Europe. By the turn of the last century, the blocks between Fifth & Sixth Avenues below 23rd Street, once only residential, saw drastic change. Retail establishments spilled over from Sixth, a major shopping district for women. Here Higgins & Seiter operated its china and glass emporium and was considered the foremost in the city. They closed their store in 1915. VINTAGE PORCELAIN FOOTED CRACKED EGG CUP w/UNDERPLATE PATTERN: FLORAL COLORS: OFF WHITE AND GOLD APPROX.

ITEM(s) COME FROM A PET AND SMOKE-FREE HOMEREVIEW ALL SHIP OPTIONS BEFORE CHECKING OUT BECAUSE USING THE "DEFAULT" METHOD WILL NOT ALWAYS THE BEST OPTION (especially if pkg is large, heavy, or items will travel a great distance).ITEMS SHIP OUT IN 1-3 BUSINESS DAYS OF PAYMENT. ALL ITEMS ARE CAREFULLY PACKAGED FOR SAFE TRANSIT.NOTES ABOUT MULTI-PURCHASES, COMBINED SHIPPING, AND QUANTITY DISCOUNTS: I OFFER COMBINED SHIPPING WHEN POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, FOR SAFETY REASONS, THAT OPTION MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE WITH OVERSIZED, VERY HEAVY, OR DIFFERENTLY SHAPED ITEMS. WHILE A LISTING MAY OFFER A QUANTITY DISCOUNT, IF AN OFFER IS MADE OR ACCEPTED AT A LOWER PRICE, THE QUANTITY DISCOUNT IS NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED. IT WILL BE MY DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO OFFER AN ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT BASED ON THE OFFER PRICE.eBAY MAKES NO SHIP-COST OR BOX-SIZE ADJUSTMENTS WHEN PURCHASING MULTIPLES OF THE SAME ITEM ON ONE LISTING. THEY ALSO RECENTLY CHANGED WHEN THEY BILL A BUYER AND NO LONGER SEEM TO GIVE A SELLER THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND A REVISED INVOICE TO REFLECT “ALL” DISCOUNTS. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE OVERCHARGED, AND IF THAT HAPPENS, I WILL GLADLY REFUND YOU THE DIFFERENCE AFTER YOUR PKG IS FINALIZED AND I AM ABLE TO DETERMINE IF A REFUND IS DUE.IF YOU PURCHASE ITEMS FROM TWO OR MORE OF MY LISTINGS, USE YOUR CART. IN DOING SO, YOU SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REQUEST A REVISED INVOICE BEFORE YOU MAKE PAYMENT TO REFLECT “ALL” DISCOUNTS. IF NOT, THE SAME REFUND SCENARIO WILL APPLY AS STATED ABOVE.NOTES ABOUT SHIPPING AND REGISTERED ADDRESSES: I DO NOT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY AND SHIP ONLY WITHIN THE U.S. OR TO ONE OF ITS PROTECTORATES (e.g., Puerto Rico).I DO NOT SHIP TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN THE ONE REGISTERED w/eBAY BECAUSE BUYER/SELLER PROTECTION MAY BE VOIDED. IF YOUR REGISTERED ADDRESS IS A POST OFFICE BOX, BUT YOU WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LOWER SHIP COST FROM FED EXP OR UPS, YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR “SHIP-TO” ADDRESS BEFORE YOU MAKE A PURCHASE.IF YOUR REGISTERED ADDRESS IS OUTSIDE THE U.S. BUT YOU SHIP WITHIN THE U.S., EBAY STILL CHARGES SELLERS A 1.65% INT’L FEE. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNFAIR PRACTICE SINCE WE DO SHIP WITHIN THE U.S., SO I NO LONGER WISH TO ABSORB THAT FEE. IF THIS APPLIES TO YOU, CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU MAKE A PURCHASE. I WILL ADD A HANDLING FEE TO COVER THE ADDITIONAL COST (that cost will vary based on the “total cost” of transaction--item cost, ship cost, and tax). IF YOU MAKE A PURCHASE WITHOUT PAYING THE ADDITIONAL FEE, YOU WILL NEED TO SEND ME THAT AMOUNT THROUGH PAYPAL BEFORE YOUR ITEM IS SHIPPED. IF YOU DO NOT, THE TRANSACTION WILL BE CANCELED.I STRIVE TO DESCRIBE ALL ITEMS ACCURATELY, BUT HONEST MISTAKES HAPPEN. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH AN ITEM YOU RECEIVE, PLEASE OFFER ME THE COURTESY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT AND DON’T LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OR INVOLVE eBAY WHICH CAN NEGATIVELY AFFECT MY SELLER RATING. I AM A REPUTABLE SELLER WHO WILL WORK WITH YOU TO RESOLVE A VALID ISSUE (just read my Feedback and you will see the type of seller I am).FEEDBACK IS LEFT FOR BUYERS AFTER IT IS LEFT FOR ME.Note: Be aware that many times eBay will require that a certain item specific be included in the listing, but they only allow 1 response. When selling more than one item with different specifics on the same listing (e.g., UPC, manufacturer, size, shape, composition, age, origin, year/place of manufacture, handmade, etc.), this can create a problem because a buyer may think the response applies to all items when it does not. Please make sure to review all details provided in description as well as Item Specifics.
